PARENT/CHILD Floraforms by Harto
Floraforms is a collection of 10,000 generative artworks, created in collaboration with the Belvedere Museum in Vienna. Inspired by Gustav Klimt’s masterpiece, "The Kiss," this collection bridges classical artistry with the future of digital art.
The ordinals ecosystem is perfect for fine art and generative art in general. It's a secure, decentralised, and immutable ecosystem, allowing every digital artefact to be preserved as long as Bitcoin exists.
This digital format not only allows for the preservation and global sharing of art but also opens up a dialogue about the value and ownership of digital creations. The integration of blockchain technology in this collection is a testament to my commitment to innovation and the democratisation of art.
Floraforms is set to be a pioneering generative art project in collaboration with a traditional art institution, the Belvedere Museum in Vienna. This venture pays homage to the museum's rich history and the era of Gustav Klimt, a time when artists, philosophers, and creatives produced groundbreaking and disruptive works.
My collaboration with the Belvedere Museum is a significant milestone in my career. It represents a harmonious blend of the old and the new, as "Floraforms" is displayed in proximity to Klimt's original works. This juxtaposition offers viewers a unique opportunity to witness the evolution of art across time and mediums.
The collection is an exploration of themes that are central to Klimt's vision - the profound interplay of human emotions and sexuality, the intricate dance of nature, and the fusion of the tangible with the ethereal realm of dreams.
Each piece is encapsulated within borders and backgrounds adorned with gold and ornamental patterns, reminiscent of Klimt's distinct approach, bridging the historic with the contemporary.
Furthermore, "Floraforms" explores the juxtaposition of geometric shapes and the fluidity of organic forms, mirroring the duality present in "The Kiss."
INSPIRED BY KLIMT
Floraforms pays homage to Gustav Klimt’s "The Kiss," blending its rich floral patterns and gold ornamentation with generative art techniques.
JAPONISME INFLUENCE
The collection draws inspiration from Japonisme, a significant influence on Klimt’s work, integrating Japanese art’s delicate balance of colors, patterns, and symbolism.
This artistic exchange, especially evident in works like Klimt's "Portrait of Sonja Knips," which parallels Itō Jakuchū’s "Golden Pheasant and Bamboo in Snow," deeply influenced my creative process.
DIGITAL BLOOMS
The collection features a rich floral tapestry, reflecting the lush gardens seen in "The Kiss," where digital blooms symbolize growth and vitality.
Furthermore, "Floraforms" explores the juxtaposition of geometric shapes and the fluidity of organic forms, mirroring the duality present in "The Kiss."
ONIRIC STATES
The collection also draws inspiration from Klimt's abstract backgrounds, incorporating digital dreamscapes that encourage viewers to contemplate the boundless possibilities of art and imagination.
Klimt’s era was deeply immersed in the exploration of the human psyche, significantly influenced by Sigmund Freud's groundbreaking theories on the subconscious.
To achieve this, I have incorporated elements such as floating flowers and subtle grain textures, creating a spatial atmosphere that resonates with the oniric states often depicted in Klimt's art. The floating flowers are a nod to the transcendental and surreal aspects of dreams, symbolising the fluidity and ephemeral nature of thought and imagination. The grain texture adds a layer of depth and complexity, hinting at the elusive quality of dreams and the subconscious.
In conclusion, Floraforms is not just an art collection but a bridge that connects the past to the future, the real to the digital, and the artist to the world. It’s a journey that starts with the strokes of Klimt and flows into the pixels of the modern canvas, inviting everyone to experience the beauty and versatility of art in the digital age
