“EXPERI…Mental”

“EXPERI…Mental” - 2024.01.12.03.23.083
CHANGING because it’s what’s being demanded! Don’t just change clothes, brands, colors and your idea of “cool”. Change the whole gawd damn thing! That’s not what they’re counting on!

This needs to be a place of disruption. There needs to be a space for disruption. In being a free Black Man, everyday seems to feel like an experiment—a GRAND experiment. The experiment is to survive and maintain ones sanity within maintaining the identity because we were never meant to survive. Not by the measurements of those they call the founders of the American country by White European settlers.

Incorporating the most previous Digital Art Piece; “LOOKING THRU FROM THE OTHER SIDE”, this piece includes Design text elements to spell out the actual message. The experiment is to survive and maintain ones sanity while knowing and understanding that there are many things to question as to improve upon who we are and what we do. Everything that we are has been hijacked. Commercialism for capitalism has provided a means for People of Color—specifically Black Men of Color—to be met and confronted with many types of societal dysfunction. How Black Men are perceived and why stand at the forefront as products and responses to slavery and post-slavery issues exacerbated by technology and the associated social media platforms. As a part of “The Dichotomy of…”, this piece embodies thoughts and ideas we have about the Black, Brown and African American issues. There is a need for a new identity and understanding of “Black”. In being Black, we are sophisticatedly complex requiring caution with care.

Like so many things around us, the term “Black” and Black People are deserving of a revision and revitalization. Where it is quite obvious that Black and Brown communities see tremendous forms of dysfunction, this is where a clear and blatant revision needs to be addressed. In the art. In the music. In the conversations and banter. We see where the values, principles and priorities originate, reside and become action.

We need to change how we see things. We need to change how we are informed of this world. We need to change how we see and are informed of ourselves and our relative positions to everything else. We need broader talk and social groups and areas of concern. We need greater ways of expressing ourselves while still maintaining a reserve and discipline that acts with a priority of looking out for each other rather than to sacrifice. Change needs to happen. Change needs to happen because—we believe—People of Color, Ethnicity and Culture are heralds and harbingers of Change. We are Change…itself.

This piece was inspired by some other Abstract Artworks. Done as a digital piece due to the ease and availability of current technological resources, effort was nonetheless added to cultivate this depiction. Using multiple brushes and unique colors, this piece has helped to springboard a renewed interest and enthusiasm for Abstract Art especially within current modern and over-commercialized times. This work is not to serve as a digital download but more a custom piece only available thru Liam Ian himself for those who truly can respect and understand the art.

*This piece is developed as a stand-alone Wall Art piece however it is to initiate and inaugurate works of this type from Liam Ian Black and LIAM IAN LLC. While many opportunities have been offered for NFT and DD cultivation, this piece can only be officially copied and sold with the inclusion of Receipt and Catalog Numbered Coding.

“LOOKING THRU FROM THE OTHER SIDE”

While we’re continuing to learn and play around with Ai Art Generators, we’re doing things the old fashioned way. After all, we are operating within our ARTS Quarter!

“LOOKING THRU FROM THE OTHER SIDE” continues the journey to symbolize the light and darkness that resides within me and the life for which I’ve had and continue to live. As we all have to operate within the dark sometimes, we can peak thru to see the other side. Sometimes that peaking thru is like viewing a world that is familiar and then not. A simple piece, it continues to convey what and how I see. The lighter and the darker while the lighter still seems dimmed or affected by the scattering of darkness. This is the universe as I’ve come to know it; not entirely light and good filled with dark spots like sadness, loneliness, loss, fear and hatred…yet there to give way to those aspects that are more…positive, affirming and reinforcing. Within the dark…is everything. From the dark…comes…everything. From the dark even comes the light.

*Within us, there are always more than one side to what exist. There’s often more to the picture and so we must strive to traverse the different sides as necessary. Even with more than one side, there’s also that space in between where things are not so clear or discernible. This is where we must trust the flows that push us from one to another. We must strive to be patient and observe—be willing to experience rather than attempt to see, hear, or feel directly. We should keep ourselves open to the greater forces that affect all that is around us rather than giving and applying definition to make sense of it all.

“SPIRITUAL HORIZON”

While we’re continuing to learn and play around with Ai Art Generators, we’re doing things the old fashioned way. After all, we are operating within our ARTS Quarter!

“SPIRITUAL HORIZON” symbolizes the light and darkness that resides within me and the life for which I’ve had and continue to live. Wishing the light is chaos and an order to that chaos while within the dark—where it seems more static—there’s more uniformity to what’s there. Where the light seems to imply or include a more stone or masonry type style and aesthetic, moving gradually into the darkness seems to have more cohesiveness within its depths. The appearing and disappearing line is that of the trajectory of life that has defined me at it goes deeper into the abyss of the darkness—although within that abyss there are riches to be discovered and to be told. The red splatter at the lower left symbolizes the passionate beginnings of life thru pain. The Circle within the darkness depicts that of a central form, idea or entity that exists right there in the middle. Where in the light there is nothing but the blood and the beginning of the journey, within the darkness you have a fixed and single point that is enclosed within that which helps to define, reinforce and protect this single point.

*As I look over my life, I know that I came truly from nothing to very little. Love was not a part of the process in for inception. Love was not a large part of my birth nor my development. While getting older and further solidifying my identity and who I am to become, I also learned much more about the mysteries of my life. Overall, the darkness has a certain and specific beauty to it and that helps to inform what came before—the idea of coming from solid foundations only to then know and understand that the foundations where in fact based upon objectivity and paradigms and were in fact the accumulated imagery of chaos. The disorder and dysfunction that brought me into this world have help create great depths of who I am and am to become. I began as William Burrell Philpot IV—unrelated and unloved from those who I would share the name with—only to then become Liam Ian Black. While I reside within the black or darkness, I further am much more that what people might assume I am…and yet still lacking.

“LINES TO NOWHERE BUT HERE.”

While we’re continuing to learn and play around with Ai Art Generators, we’re doing things the old fashioned way. After all, we are operating within our ARTS Quarter!

This piece was inspired by some other Abstract Artworks. Done as a digital piece due to the ease and availability of current technological resources, effort was nonetheless added to cultivate this depiction. Using multiple brushes and unique colors, this piece has helped to springboard a renewed interest and enthusiasm for Abstract Art especially within current modern and over-commercialized times. This work is not to serve as a digital download but more a custom piece only available thru Liam Ian himself for those who truly can respect and understand the art.

“Lines To Nowhere But Here.” is an illustration of how life is sometimes perceived. Where things nowadays are routinely thought of being straight or narrow or even focused to the point of leading to one particular idea, concept or truth, we reside in ways, places, and spaces where definition is often diminished or over-bloated. Where things should become beautiful, sound and serene, they do not and therefore are not. While on the surface, this piece may look like something anyone could, the truth is that no one has done it. Thought, care, direction and reflection were incorporated within this piece to ensure the installation of meaning and purpose. The piece has been romanticized but for more than enough reasons than one…especially as answer to the modern trend of art being easily developed and consumed without patience and feeling yet to be easily consumed.

A UNIQUE KIND OF PRODUCT

Commissioned to do something to benefit the kids, we’re lookin into developing a custom coloring book series for Black Girls and Boys.

We ALL have a responsibility to educate the ones coming up with a concern for how they learn and how they see themselves as they learn and within what they’re learning. It’s important to not keep these kids entertained and ambitious towards and about the future, but it is equally—if not much more—important to play a part in how they’re being educated and what that education consist of.

Thru the use of Ai Art programs (such as MidJourney.com and the WOMBO Dream iOS app), Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, and creative iOS app Procreate, we’re developing a small project that might have a big impact.
