circlivision

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.

Unfortunately down below is the version that didn't get published!!!


Circlivision

(sur 'kli' vizn) n. A tribute to the Artist Stresino for envisioning and introducing an innovative form of art 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 with a brush, keyboard, or pencil that one uses onto Masonite, canvas, or 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. Stresino coined this type of art as Circlism.

Stresino the Artist had the circlivision to inspire millions when he coined Circlism!

The Story of Circlism in the library!

The Story of Circlism can now be borrowed at two Elementary School Libraries!   Everyone needs to catch the wave!

Finally getting the Recognition that Stresino deserves!

As I usually do I was doing my Circlism search  on Google and I ran across this :

 Which led me to a report that had been done in Crete, Greece introducing a program that can Circlize pictures using an algorithm which they define as circle packing!   In the first few pages of the report it acknowledges that Edward C. Stresino first introduces Circlism in 1985!   It is hard to believe that in two more years Circlism will have its thirtieth anniversary!

Analysis of Warrior Princess

Warrior Princess by Edward C. Stresino

                                    Warrior Princess

        She is a woman of her own will. She will not sit around to be rescued. She gathers her men for an all out battle to the end! It is a struggle to regain the kingdom for her father. 
She with her army, has caused chaos and anarchy, but once they have taken out the enemy she will re-establish the power of her father's kingdom where she will promise to rule in a benevolent fashion. (as quoted by the Artist  Stresino in his blog dated October 19th, 2007)

        There is more to this than the description the Artist Stresino gives.   The painting depicts a battle between those loyal  to her and those who are willing to risk their lives for the evil that has grown through greed, poverty, and despair.  The moral decline of a kingdom that will need to rebuild its moral values and infrastructure in order to regain the influence it once had.  The newly established kingdom will need time, and the ability to regain the trust of its subjects.

                                                    

Beginning Stages of Warrior Princess by Edward C. Stresino

          It is so interesting to see the rawness of this painting in this picture!  Even with the main portions drawn out the complexity of the painting shows so much promise!   It was eventually well-executed as the end results have proven.                                                   

Stresino's Painting: Molecular Structure inspired Poem!

         

                 Not surprising that the impact of this painting can inspire the words to a poem!

The Poem can be found in the in the Meez forum :

Evolutionary Ancestral

Arriving Bundled Molecular Structures 

A large twitching cloud ;

Too weak

To speak 

Their minds they wander 

Aimlessly hoping 

To form opinions 

With Pea-sized Brains! 

Written for a painting piece- two weeks ago! 

(A revised Poem)

Evolutionary Ancestral

Arriving

Bundled Molecular Structures,

aimless

fidgeting clouds

too faint

to taint

with

an opening mouth

too weak 

to speak

aimless

twitching minds with

the growing pains

of pea-sized brains

Dream, Nightmare, or Reality? You tube Video Analysis

     I love how the artist Stresino combines the intricacy of his painting Dream, Nightmare, or Reality  with the song Paradise by Coldplay.    The song tells the story of girl who is longing for her happiness, and is trying to find it.   The best way for her to accomplish this is finding happiness in her dreams.  
     Stresino's painting captures the quality of a dream state and shows us how the girl in her painting faces her obstacles to reach her paradise that will bring only a temporary happiness.   Her state of being is ambivalent due to the danger that surrounds her.  The question is will she wake up in enough time!

When she was just a girl 
She expected the world 
But it flew away from her reach so 
She ran away in her sleep 
And dreamed of 
Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise, Para-para-paradise 
Every time she closed her eyes 

When she was just a girl 
She expected the world 
But it flew away from her reach 
And the bullets catch in her teeth 
Life goes on, it gets so heavy 
The wheel breaks the butterfly 
Every tear a waterfall 
In the night the stormy night she'll close her eyes 
In the night the stormy night away she'd fly 

And dreams of 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh 
She'd dream of 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh 

La-la-la-la-la-la-la 
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la 
And so lying underneath those stormy skies 
She'd say, "oh, ohohohoh I know the sun must set to rise" 

This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Para-para-paradise 
This could be 
Para-para-paradise 
Oh oh oh oh oh oh-oh-oh-oh
