Scientist Leon Foucault invented a pendulum that can be used to demonstrate the daily rotation of the Earth around its axis. And the artist Tom Shannon (Tom Shannon) invented a pendulum with which you can draw pictures. It would seem that the principle of operation is the same, but such different functions …
Contemporary artists are distinguished by the fact that they are constantly looking for, and some even find, new ways of organizing the artistic process. Tom Shannon, for example, learned to draw with a huge pendulum. And he even does it quite well!”Tom Shannon attached several containers with paints of different colors to the pendulum of his own design. During the creative process, he launches this pendulum along certain trajectories, and the paints, the force of gravity, themselves create pictures, which Shannon then subscribes to.
And, most surprisingly, Tom often turns out not to be a complete artistic rubbish, but quite interesting modern painting. So you can't tell right away that these paintings were made with the help of an untwisted pendulum.
Tom Shannon claims that he himself is interested in watching the process of creation by the attraction of these paintings. After all, quite recognizable images are often obtained - birds, fish, flowers and much more. Nature once created all this beauty and diversity, and nature again creates them, but with the help of paints. And, of course, with the help of Tom Shannon and his amazing creative method.
