Extraordinary, addictive work by an Australian-born London artist Simeon Nelson is a kind of bridge between complex geometry and contemporary art. Nelson plays with shapes for his own pleasure, presenting the result of the game in a form that any fan of modern art can understand.
One of Nelson's last works is called Systems of Romance (one has to wonder if the choice of the name was influenced by the presence of an album with the same title from a famous new wave group Ultravox). This is not just a sculpture, but a seemingly revived pattern - into the study of the endless, the path and always the same bends of which the viewers are immersed in their heads.
Another installation by a London master is called Plenum … Here, algorithmically calculated patterns and Nelson's mechanical thinking are combined with the expressive means of HD video art. Viewers sit in front of a giant screen and watch the transformation of abstract black and white entities - which merge with each other, separate back, transform into tiny dots. According to the reviews of people who "looked" Plenum, it resembles a real psychedelic experience, and time flies unnoticed during the "session".
London can rightfully be called one of the key centers of contemporary art: the work of such worthy citizens of the British capital as Ethan Park and Gavin Hemmond, readers of the online magazine Kulturologia.ru are already familiar. Like their creations, Simeon Nelson's works are exhibited in major galleries - not only in London, but also in the United States and Australia - and are always favored by art critics. What can we say about the audience, whose consciousness can easily shift slightly after meeting one of Nelson's grandiose psychedelic patterns.
