The Visionism

Amities_particulieres_Detail_wp

"While Impressionism tends to split the subject matter into glittering particles,
revealing but a multitude instantaneous traces of it;
while Expressionism, contrarily, seeks to combine,
to weld together the disparate elements of a subject matter,
forming one permanent expression of it with the aim to engulf the total sum of its attributes,
Visionism does not limit itself to those two arbitrary - and therefore fallacious solutions."

"Instead, it seeks to transcend the subject matter beyond its visually time-bound aspect.
In order to extract from it the full content of its ontological essence,
it recreates its pictures on a level beyond reality,
conferring to it a quality of absolute value and truth unattainable by merely factual representation."

"Then cast back onto the screen of visual description through the artists interpretation,
the previously extemporal, vision induced image of the subject matter succeeds
in becoming temporally visible, including all its previously hidden aspects, thus and enriched
by allthose gained attributes, thereafter visually available
to the comprehensive perception of everyone."
