ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Conrad Bo Superblur. The Fusion of Fauvism and Picassofication. Picassofication is a concept developed by Conrad Bo Superblur in conjunction with the Superblur and Superstroke Art Movements. Artistic movements have always been a reflection of the zeitgeist, a manifestation of the collective spirit of an era. Fauvism and the art of Picasso, two groundbreaking movements in the early 20th century, stand as pillars of modern art. Fauvism emerged in the early 20th century as a radical departure from the subdued palettes of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. Led by artists like Henri Matisse and André Derain, Fauvists sought to liberate color from its representational duties, allowing it to exist independently and evoke emotion on its own terms. The Influence of Fauvism on the Contemporary Artist In the synthesis of Fauvism with Picassofication, Conrad Bo Superblur embarked on a journey that pays homage to the radical exploration of color. The vibrant palettes of Fauvism find resonance in the artist's work, breathing life into their compositions. The juxtaposition of intense, non-representational colors serves as a nod to the Fauvist tradition, infusing each piece with a dynamic energy that captivates the viewer's senses. Picassofication: Deconstructing Reality Pablo Picasso, a towering figure in 20th-century art, shattered conventional notions of form and perspective with his revolutionary Cubist style. The Fusion: Fauvism Meets Picassofication The convergence of Fauvism with the concept of Picassofication in the work of Conrad Bo Superblur creates a captivating tension between exuberant color and deconstructed form. Conrad Bo Superblur try to seamlessly weaves these influences, resulting in a visual language that is at once harmonious and provocative. Bold strokes of color coalesce with fractured forms, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork on multiple levels.

Conrad Bo is an artist that lives and work in Johannesburg, South Africa and paints in the style of Superstroke, Superblur and Hybridpointillism and attempts to communicate his views on social issues, historical events and avant garde art theory. From 2021 Conrad Bo will put more emphasis with his art, on the concepts in the Hybridpointillism Art Movement.  Innovation in contemporary art is Conrad Bo’s main objective and he strives to achieve this by using manifesto driven art, and the concept of Calculated Chaos. He executes his Superstroke and Superblur paintings by using expressive, even violent brushstrokes, symbols, writing and dripping, to comment on issues of life, history, decoration, morality, and identity.  Plus signs (+) feature in nearly all of his paintings and is a sign of the Superstroke, an indication of an increase, by the addition of. The plus sign is a positive sign, a sign of hope, the sum is more than its parts, a ranking on the higher end of a designated scale, a favourable condition or factor and in some instances a sign of peace, and a sign of help. The use of the + (plus) is also used to differentiate ‘Superstroke’ paintings from other art movements such as Expressionism, Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Expressionism. The 2008 manifesto of the Superstroke Art Movement is the cornerstone of most of the art produced by Conrad Bo and other members of the Superstroke Art Movement. Most of Conrad Bo’s childhood was spent growing up in Witbank also known as eMalahleni, an African town about 150km from Johannesburg. He started drawing and painting from an early age. He experimented with a style called Generalism from 2003 until 2008, when he felt that it (Generalism) came to the end of its innovative cycle. The art concept and style called Superstroke was founded by Conrad Bo in 2008 and became an internationally known Art Movement with members in different countries. The Superstroke art produced by Conrad Bo features expressive, even violent brush, pencil and pen strokes, in accordance with the Superstroke Art Movement manifesto. There is also a heavy emphasis on texture in Superstroke as these paintings are sometimes described as the opposite of Superflat (A Japanese art movement conceived by Takashi Murakami). Some of his art are also inspired by artists such as Boldini, Giacometti, Bacon, Papetti, Picasso, Basquiat and Miro.
