We could say that art flows through movements. But art movements are just the big branches the flow creates. Technique is the medium that art's flow crosses, creating thousands of branches, big and small. When I blow diluted pigment onto a canvas, the blowing direction that I choose determines the result. Also the canvas surface determines the result. And the amount of water I dilute the pigment with. An experiment where constructal law has the last word. Intentional, but at the same time "spontaneous" When talking about art evolution and taking this experiment as a metaphor, I imagine that canvas (surface roughness) is the known techniques (available technology) and blow direction is enlightenment. The pigment stain could be a graphic, the roads art travels. Often, an artist (a scientist) has a plan but while making the art piece (the experiment) something unexpected happens and the result is very different (and better'). Chance is beautiful. Unique... Not like any other shape: tree branch, lightning, wall crack, etc. A manmade natural-like form. The pigment stain on my canvas cannot be redone, the one and only, a luxury. The other day I was looking for satisfaction, (hehe) so I typed "satisfaction" on youtube search and besides the Rolling Stones videoclip... guess what !? I found "Ultimate Satisfaction"! There was this compilation of machines working metal and wood; honey dropping; domino effect; a water swirl; toffee being pulled, water falling onto a dry sponge; a wave... There is a pattern here: Flow is pleasing. It reminds us that nature works. I make pigment flow for the pleasure of watching it stream.
