My Dear Malevich, Novosibirsk State Art Museum (aniGma-4, Fourth Novosibirsk International Festival of Digital Imaging), Novosibirsk, Russia, (May 10 - June 10, 2007)

My Dear Malevich




Comment by Andrey Martynov, Curator, Novosibirsk State Art Museum, Novosibirsk, Russia:

"Chambers' Pixelscapes have been exhibited in Novosibirsk and also at the Solovetsky Monastery. He is working with the idea of a small unit or cell of an image, which shows a fantastical world through print and animation. This new black-and-white series - 'My Dear Malevich' - is a part of the Fourth Novosibirsk International Festival of Digital Imaging at the Novosibirsk State Art Museum (May 10 - June 10, 2007). It is a pleasure for us to show this series that stems from the Suprematist traditions of the great Malevich.

Kazimir Malevich was a remarkable artist of the 20th century who looked deeply into the philosophical content of images. Chambers uses this same philosophy in his long-term art projects such as Pixelscapes. And what is especially pleasant is that he brings his understanding and knowledge to art students at Zhaoqing University in China who are just beginning their artistic studies."

My Dear Malevich and Red Sweep Black Square "Suprematism Infinity: Reflections, Interpretations, Explorations" (December 1, 2015 - January 22, 2016) showcases works by Tom R. Chambers, Mark Khidekel, Irina Nakhova and Max Semakov. It explores works inspired by the legacy of Suprematism through new forms, styles, media, and technology. Invented by Kazimir Malevich a century ago, Suprematism became one of the most radical and influential art movements of the 20th century. It brought the Russian avant-garde into a state of absolute non-objectivity, based on "pure feeling." Suprematism created a perception of multiple dimensions without horizons or boundaries and translated these perceptions into energetic relationships between primary geometrical forms. Suprematism also produced a synthesis that merged exploration of the imagination with revolutionary changes in modern science; it allowed development while embracing science and technology as creative tools.

"Black Square" and other Suprematist works became the turning point in the development of Russian avant-garde when Malevich showed them in Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), Russia in 1915 at the   "Last Futurist Exhibition of Paintings 0.10" . Suprematism is an art movement, focused on basic geometric forms, such as circles, squares, lines, and rectangles, painted in a limited range of colors. The term refers to an abstract art based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than on visual depiction of objects. Chambers
