This is Tony Karp at his best. Mr. Daisy lives down the road and around the corner from us. Tony called this perspective tordue because the horse's head is twisted toward the viewer. Tordue is the French word for twisted. In the ancient cave paintings they used to twist horns and hooves.
Tony has printed this one and it is hanging in the Living Room Gallery. I though it looked like asymmetrical pointillism, but Tony said is was asymmetrical divisionism. Our buzzword generators are in over drive.
I looked up Pointillism on Wikipedia and here's what it said. "Pointillism is a style of painting in which small distinct points of primary colors create the impression of a wide selection of secondary and intermediate colors. The technique relies on the perceptive ability of the eye and mind of the viewer to mix the color spots into a fuller range of tones and is related closely to Divisionism, a more technical variant of the method."
We are were both right. I love making up these fancy hard to understand attributions for Tony's work. In reality here's a picture of horse that Tony has turned into something very interesting to look at. He has used the color in the picture to get the asymmetrical points. It is technology that allows him to do this. But he has also removed information and leaves your mind to mix it all together. If you want to give it a label call it
Techno-Impressionism.
