Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s work evokes the art of Bridget Riley, a British painter. Her work from the early 1960s used bold black and white graphics in rhythm causing the perception of movement, which was later called Op Art. Her work influenced fashion, graphic design, and advertising of the 1960’s. She still is an active artist currently working with screen-printing. The following is a good example of this artists work from the 1960s:
Bridget Riley Movement in Squares 1961 Tempera on Hardboard
Bridget Riley Blaze 1 1965 Emulsion on Hardboard
Bridget Riley Arrest 1 1965 Emulsion on Hardboard
Dianne Harris, currently the artistic director and curator at the Kinetica Museum in London, uses robotics, photography, and multi-media to create participatory and visionary sculptures. This artist’s use of technology, sculpture, and installation is very much a reflection of our time. Her powerful 4 dimensional sculpture, “Woman with Burning Vision” is a great example:
If you have seen the moving fish on the side of this blog, it is an interesting coincidence that the artist Julie Freeman’s artwork “The Lake” uses the movement of actual fish (their relationships, popularity, and activity levels) to create a complex 4 dimensional multimedia art piece. The art moves digitally as fish activities alter and change; an interesting parallel to human sociology research. This video shows the construction of this collaboration of art and science:
I hope you, as I, look forward to seeing more work from these great visionaries of 4D art.
