描述
“Superbloom" by Elsif captures the ephemeral floral beauty of spring on the Pacific Coast. An experiment in creating 144 individual artworks that connect together, with each piece flowing seamlessly into the next, inviting you on an endless walk through a meadow by the sea.
Memory’s nostalgia is presented as the peaceful calm of an ocean breeze flows over the flowers and grass. The art style transitions between clear geometric shapes and loose painterly strokes, which heightens the appreciation of the knowledge that “Superbloom" is created with code rather than a paintbrush. The influence of traditional Chinese art shines through in the continuous landscape, the elegant movement of calligraphic brushes echoing in the implied movement across the horizon.
Elsif worked directly with the themes of the exhibition, choosing to create a continuous piece that pulls at the threads of connection and the fluid exchange of ideas.
