New Locality
David Kareyan

New Locality project is intended to expose the identity of contemporary man in the era of cultural globalization, technological revolution and biological distortion.
It consists of 23 independent canvasses, which are also complementary of each other. Computer generated digital animations are transferred on hexagonal surfaces of canvas by oil paint. By combining principle of surrealistic spontaneity and artistic independence by computer, and adding industrial aesthetics of Pop Art I am trying to find new perspectives for painting.

In this project by showing the processes of contemporary cultural diffusion I try to ask whether industrial progress has resulted in expansion of man’s territorial dominance, or the man himself has been subjected to absolute domination of the world of his own creation.
