Thinking of art in the realm of science is not good for me. To think that there may be a formula or equation that may bring your work to a certain outcome is actually something that I may invest time in. A fact that may bring my skills in check.
The author clearly did not have much love for Monet but did do diligent research about him. When he put forward that "Monet is Chaos" I feel that it at least has to be Calculated complicated chaos because I am yet to come across any Monet painting that I did not like. In Monet's "Chaos" for the least one comes upon a work that is pleasing to the eye. Creating original chaos that is beautiful has to simply be genius to say the least.
But the idea of chemicals and concoctions to drive one's mixtures for artwork does inspire me. Thinking in the Post Modern life of any artist today I have all but given up of ever doing some original work. Just last week I did a logo for a friend in Trinidad that I tied to their Indian origins, calculated for the number of family and nature of the business, but the end result looked far to close to BP logo and I had to scrap it.
Though I may not go as far as to find dragon's blood or any blood for that matter. I feel that the idea of the chemical reaction on one's canvas are endless, and gives me a strong sense of hope in future endeavours. But having no chemistry background and the limitless array of substances to use I wonder how and where I might begin.
