The Neo-Metaphysical Painting
“The target of a Neo-Metaphysical painter is to shoot photos of metaphysical ideas.”
The art of the Neo-Metaphysical painting sees Photography as an opportunity to draw from. The target is to represent Metaphysical scenes hoping to induce in the viewer the sensation of being in front of a photo.
It’s a way to represent Metaphysical scenes using photographic effects such as the focus, the exposure, lens features like the focal length, the use of specific types of prospective, or any other feature typical of the art of photography.
A normal brain associates photography with reality, and it will never perceive a metaphysical scene as real. But we can trick it into having the impression of being in front of a photo. A little bit like when you watch the clouds and you see a person or an animal, you know it’s not real but you still see it,
An essential tool at the disposal of a Neo-Metaphysical painter is the representation of objects made with transparent and reflective materials. When executed correctly, transparencies and reflections significantly enhance the realism of a scene.
