Brutalism • Reimagined
Brutalist architecture is one of the most controversial styles of architecture to exist. It’s what people imagine when they think about what a prison looks like, with its cold and imposing exterior. Brutalism is also what people typically picture when they think of government buildings or schools built in the 1950s-1960s.
Brutalist style is known for its heavy, imposing appearance. If there’s one word that can sum up the entirety of brutalism, it’s the word “concrete.” The style came as a response to the sleek and polished Moderne style popular during the early 20th century.

It’s fantastic! Looking carefully at these fancy patterns on the pine tree bark you can see amazing pictures and even faces.
Separation. Displacement. Asunder.
A boundary. A union. A contradiction.
Diremption is incongruity and antithesis in agreement; two planes in the same space separated by form, shape, color, depth, meaning; each a stilled moment in its own time joined in common boundary by a contrary moment, like fingerprints on a window, unique, separate, together.

“But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit.
For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.
The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.
The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.”

I have just started "colouring in" some of my abstract work, i.e. adding new colours to the original shot. There are some fantastic colour abstractionists here on flickr working like that and they are a constant inspiration to me. Please pay a visit to the uncrowned queen of colour abstracts, caeciliametella.
Suprematism is an early twentieth-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles, triangles). The term itself refers to a form of abstract art based on the supremacy of pure artistic expression rather than on a visual or literal depiction of objects. It is entirely subjective and gives room for the artist to present what they think or perceive versus what they may see.
“We are what we hide.” I read that somewhere. Must have been sometime ago. Or maybe I wrote it myself. From experience. I’m not really sure, but I know its truth. Our fallen hearts spin artifacts of fear; confining, hiding, confusing, obscuring. Betraying neighbors and friends, family, lovers, with only ever the partial glimpse, a pretense, or a parade. In the end, a fraud. I read that somewhere. Or maybe I wrote it myself.
