Color Coding, a solo exhibition showcasing the non-figurative works of
Adamo Tiseo’s artistic practices include the manipulation of visual of
time and color and the impossibility of receiving compressed visual
information. The retina observes millions of colors but cannot register
them collectively at a mere glance. Throughout a day there are
countless objective figures that are virtually impossible to be
analytically aware of every detail. Even when we take a photograph of
perfectly still form, the color is always constantly changing depending
on the angle of lighting. On a moving train, we see colors smeared
parallel to the horizon. Compressed time and delayed chronological
sequences are best-represented trough vertical figments of pigment.
This show will exhibit colors not by its representation in nature, but its
intention through emotion and memory.
The project consists of non- representational paintings. His works
relate to what can be achieved throughout a compressed amount of
time. The aim is to step outside the box of using shapes and forms to
create an omnipresent effect with forms already instilled in the human
mind at infancy. The idea of color placement without the confines of
line and form has the potential to evolve on its own. Color then
represents the subject and is able to function completely independently
of any solid shape.
When questioning notions of figure, oftentimes the mind is obstructed
with a sense of dissatisfaction and disoriented proportions. Nothing is
ever what it seems as represented on a two dimensional surface.
Something as mundane as a line dividing two complementary colors
establishes the conflict of the thought processing mind. Absolute
certainty needs a shadow of a doubt in the formula for perfection, but
we always tend to have an unsettling question towards the intentions
of a sublime world.
