APPArt Mini #5 Featuring Mobile Artist Rino Rossi
Please enjoy our fifth post to our new section within our APPart Column entitled – APPart Mini (to view our earlier ones, please go here). This time our editor Bobbi McMurry talks with Rino Rossi to find out more about his work, over to you Bobbi. (Foreword by Joanne Carter).
Apps: Aquarella, Mextures, Decim8, Stackables, Image Blender
Bobbi:
Non-objective art, likely one of the most misunderstood genres. We don’t have many AppArt contributors who regularly create within this category, but Rino most always does. Go to an abstract art opening and you might hear comments like “My two year old paints better than that”! Great nonrepresentational art is created with feeling and energy that draws you in and forces you to apply your own meaning. Perhaps it’s just an emotion, a feeling, or maybe even a memory, but it’s something personal and different depending on who is viewing the work.
Rino has shared his originals as well as the progression images as an invitation to the impetus of “Poppy Nogood”.
Rino:
"Poppy Nogood" is inspired (just from the title) to the wonderful Terry Riley’s piece (from "A Rainbow in Curved Air"). I wanted to translate the alien notes with right visual patterns. I’ve chosen a common picture taken in a station. I made "painting" with AQUARELLA. Then I embellished with the formula "Parisian" of MEXTURES. Later I used DECIM8 to break and handle the result. Next, another texture, "Better Days", from the app STACKABLES. Finally I entered, one at a time, three other images from my archive.
Thus was born "Poppy Nogood": ecstasy and repetitiveness.
