Circlivision

(sur 'kli' vizn) n. an innovative form of art introduced in 1985 that uses circles or other similar shapes to invoke a style of beauty. The application of circles being made by oils, acrylic, computer or pencil using either a brush, keyboard, or pencil onto masonite, canvas, or even digitally. The circles not only enhances an image, but also delineates and focuses the eye on the positive and negative spaces that at times may or may not reveal a pattern or secret form. See Circlism.

The Artist had the circlivision when he finished his very innovative painting using the technique of Circlism.

The circles not only enhances an image, but also delineates and focuses the eye on the positive and negative spaces that at times may or may not reveal a pattern or secret form.

Analysis of Circlism as a tool to invoke a style of beauty!

CIRCLISM... (sur`kliz`em) n. application of paint by diagramming an image in terms of tiny circles or figures to create an effect of subtle and complex dimensions. A school of painting exemplified by Stresino in the early 21st century United States. {Middle English cercle from old French, from Latin circulus} circle- a plane curve everywhere equidistant from a given fixed point, the center. surklizt n. & adj. sur`kliz`tic adj. Compare pointillism. 

               The Artist Stresino in his argument is trying to take the circle and use it as a filter through his own imagination. He succeeds in creating an original piece of artwork that not only uses the circle but enhances the way a viewer can see the image as only he can see it.  

                Stresino explains that  Picasso's  artwork  is perceived by the viewer as  a  new vision of the Artist's eye,   "Which brings me to Picasso and what he viewed as beautiful as to what we as a consumer society view as beautiful. Picasso was able to absorb the world around him and, allow others to see his beauty through these images that looked strange or odd to the human eye. (or the viewer) In reality what he created was his vision that invoked a style of beauty. Within this premise, Circlism, is a tool that I use to invoke a style of beauty. So please if you read this do not place negative stereotypes on such an innocent bystander as the circle. The circle can be used as a positive force in understanding the world around us. I can think of several images which first being that the sun to our eye is like a circle; bringing life through its rays of pure heat and energy. In biblical pictures halos which are the shape of circles that a sense of goodness and well being is revealed to us. The circle itself has no sides, but is curvaceous. The simple idea of roundness is attractive to human nature. Circles have a style which no other shape possesses. The style that comes out is one of bounciness."  (Stresino as quoted on his blog Father of Circlism)

              Stresino succeeds in creating a newly formed style of beauty that from the get go is as original and innovative take on how circles can enhance an image by delineating and focusing on the positive and negative spaces!   Stresino succeeds where other artists have failed.
