Ten light box paintings
Ten segmented paintings
Ten real paintings
30 – 40 original prints

The Digital Sketchbook: ideation
This gallery represents a stunning number of compositions based on the fragmentation grid and visual remix. (Some of the images are “valid” others are for test purposes only). Existing Csorba art and new representational images will be extended and energized via the remix and overlay with other images.
For example: the stand alone “burning house” painting gets metaphorically plugged into a symbolic power grid via the remix mash-up. A visual vibration and movement of color and pattern occurs. The symbolism changes from isolation to connectedness. The fire is no longer organic, it becomes electronic.
Other images fall in and out of abstraction, representation and a new form of expressionism as fragmented geometric patterns are both released and obscured within the grid. Objects come alive and dance across the picture plane. Tempo is both synchronized and asymmetric in an atomic energy dance of color, shape and geometry.
Wordplay
The word “FAITH” is almost impossible to read up close. The closer you get to “technology” (i.e/ small smartphone screened background) the harder it is to see simple things.
When you move back and physically distance yourself from the “smartphone inspired grid” – you can easily read the words. This visual notion challenges our perception of the power of technology verses the power of organic experience.
