Artwork and its relationship with space

AIM

The aim is to study the artworks and works of art of artists Jeram Patel and Kazimir Malevich in detail and the parameters of studying a painting. This research thesis will focus on relationship of art in space by studying works of two artists.

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of the study is to understand the works of art of artists Jeram Patel and Kazimir Malevich in detail, both artist belong to diferent era, diferent ideology, yet draw a similarity in expression. Analyzing based on its origin and inspirations, art, colors, patterns, composition, elements. Further deriving parameters and developing sketches, diagrams, charts to analyze their artworks. Exploring possibilities of designing furniture, elements/artifacts in space through elements, parameters and inferences drawn from the study.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

1. What are the ideologies, historiography of artists Jeram Patel and Kazimir Malevich?

2. How can be the art used as a medium to derive a language for space?

3. Can study of the artworks be used as a tool for designing furniture, space?

4. What are the parameters on the basis of which artwork or a painting can be studied?

5. How work of art establishes relationship in the space with other objects, artifacts?

6. How can this relationship be understood and studied to design space?

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The study covers the paintings of the artists and evolution from earlier work till today.

The research is limited to brief study of artworks of Jeram Patel and Kazimir Malevich and detailed analysis of one of their artworks.

It is confned to the interpretation of two artists and design of furniture and elements through those interpretations into an interior space.

Introduction

Art is the interpretation or application of human imagination and creative abilities, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, conceptual ideas that produce works that are valued primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Regardless of their interpretation, importance or understanding, it deals with the expression of the artist’s ideas, emotions and methods and can be done in numerous forms. The form can also include arrangement, contrast, proportions, symmetry, balance, composition, shapes and colors.

How artworks establish relationship with the space?

How art is related with space?

Artwork Concept, medium, form, structure, visible, characters, viewer, essence (gist)

Space Concept, material, form, structure, spatial experience (context), user, function

Art is an integral part of interior design. It is closely related with interiors from ancient times. It can be an expression or application in a space. Diferent eras and art and design movements resulted in many styles. Example-art deco, art nouveau, minimalism, baroque, Bauhaus, etc. The furniture and elements refect the design style inspired by its properties. Architecture, like painting, is concerned with two dimensional forms. It can tell a story and can draw in an individual with movement and spatial experience. The interrelation of art and space, help maintain a greater appreciation for art.

Throughout early history, painting and space was related to the idea of collection and display. Then it was characterized by the value of color, pattern, composition, symmetry, balance. In addition, the size and spatial expansion of the painting allow the development of the unique relationship with the interior. The traditional work of art be it a painting, sculpture or a piece of architecture, is no longer seen as an isolated object, but viewed in context. The surrounding becomes as important as the object. It will create a dialogue and new understanding about its relationship with the space.

The idea of art designing a space suggests that the design of a room can be based on a work of art, from the colors to the fabrics and fnishes. It can be the focal point or it can be used in such a way that its qualities converse with the space.

We are surrounded by art and use it consistently. It can hugely afect feelings and way of thinking. Looking at art provides likely to spend a few minutes experiencing and studying it. Artwork is sometimes non representative nor does it have a clearly recognizable or visible theme. Instead it forces viewers to fnd their own interpretations and meaning.

A painting in a room can create a color blocking efect, add color to a limited area and contrast that color with the surrounding space. It not only transforms the spaces, but also has a signifcant impact on the atmosphere of the space. The efective way to transform a space is through the use of art that can instantly bring a space to life and add an outline.

1.2 CONCLUSION

An artwork has been an integral part of the space. Historically, it has evolved from a fat representation of form and space to a three-dimensional representation of form and space to abstraction. It relates to the space such as the shape, form, composition, size and proportions, texture, color, patterns. In addition, human perception and experience infuence the existence of the artwork in the space. The implementation of concepts of art is inspired by many various art forms in diferent stages and design concept.

Malevich emphasized on colored geometric shapes that foated on a white background, against all references to the outside world that took supremacy over the forms of nature and called it Suprematism. He understood its subject to the basic components of the language of the painting, such as line, color and brushwork. For him, the white background was infnite, whereas Jeram Patel indicated the spatial and textural variations in the works, in which black completely absorbed the colors and shapes. The images look full and empty at the same time. He used ink on paper and blowtorch method.

Therefore, to study how artwork connects to the space, art works of Kazimir Malevich and Jeram Patel were selected for this thesis.

Art communicates complex ideas and emotions. It does so because of its formal qualities, its content and context and the way we see and experience them. Formal qualities can be the structure and composition of a work of art or space. Both have a connection that connects them through their design and their individual meanings and makes them simultaneously communicative and expressive. Art is based on an object shaped to visually express a range of ideas and space is based on its usability, structure and function.
