Tom R. Chambers is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of digital media and traditional artistic movements. His creative endeavors with Digital Suprematism and Geometric Abstraction reflect his deep engagement with the principles of form, structure, and the dynamic potential of modern technology. Drawing inspiration from early 20th-century pioneers like Kazimir Malevich, Chambers translates the aesthetic language of Suprematism and abstraction into the digital realm, creating visually striking compositions that blend historical art movements with contemporary techniques. Through his innovative use of geometric shapes, bold color palettes, and spatial relationships, Chambers reinterprets the utopian ideals of abstraction in the context of a digital age. His work challenges viewers to reconsider the boundaries between art and technology, offering a fresh perspective on the enduring relevance of geometric abstraction in a world increasingly shaped by digital culture.

The conceptual rhythm created by the "E-One Generation: Electric Vertigo, 1997–2001, consists of a sequence of grid subdivisions, each subdivided by a large and typically open chroma key, with a descending, clockwise progression. The paintings, on paper, were based on the primitives of the form found in the construction of computer screens. The grids, shown as works in progress, were divided into several six-sided units, with the resulting units measuring up to 15 feet wide. The grids were then sliced into small, identical chunks of varying lengths and placed on the floor. The resulting painting, a geometric landscape in the form of an inverted Polaroid grid, was assembled into a partially finished building in the space of the museum, consisting of eight panels that had been painted with black-and-white halftone stripes.The most compelling work in the exhibition, installed on a wall, was a three-part work, entitled Topological Equivalents, 2001, in which three overlapping, circular formations of concentric hexagons were mounted on a black background. The formations were arranged in three small squares, with the first of the squares made of black and the second of light blue. The works basic arrangement is a vertical, or graph-line, grid; the squares are created by using a laser printer. The grids are arranged in the way the blue squares and the blue squares are drawn in graph paper; their geometric complementation, however, is a dense, smooth-looking grid. The painted grid edges and the pink, light-purple, and black hues of the color scheme create an illusionistic effect that is otherwise quite real, even though the colors and hues are based on a drawing. In the same way that the grid is a visual, physical design element, the grid patterns can also be used as a way to mentally represent something.

In the process of evaluating the role of the artist in these interconnected worlds, some of the more salient aspects of the contemporary art scene—from Paul McCarthy to Douglas Gordon to John McLaughlin to Kori Nelsons—are also the least understood. In her recent exhibition, Horizon, Diane Tooby began to engage the art world in a renewed dialogues with these issues. With the help of two experimental video pieces, Horizon, and their accompanying installations, Tooby is trying to shake up the traditional relationship between the art world and the science world.In Horizon, Tooby is attempting to redefine what it means to be an artist, by introducing a new vocabulary of artist, by rethinking the relationship between artist and scientist, between artist and observer. Horizon, which means change or change, is a series of five video pieces in which the artist reenacts her experiments with observing and designing. After several weeks of trial and error, Tooby was able to pull off the best possible optical effect, producing a powerful, blue-chip effect in which the color is tinted with blue and green. It is an optical trick that, when realized in the studio, allows Toobys reference point for the work to be the scientific realm. In this way, she removes any challenge to her artistic and scientific skill by combining it with the social and biological processes of the industrial world. The blue-chip effects are particularly appealing to Toobys teenagers who, as the artists teacher, often play with their work, a source of inspiration.Hence, the blue-chip effect is of great importance for Tooby. Horizon in particular includes a brilliant chromatic composition. A thick blue blur is projected onto a blue background. Green shapes, like those of a bubble, seem to float in a void, like floating stars. The effect is a reinterpretation of the soft, patchy blue glow found in the blue of blue-chip paintings.

Theres a beauty to the paintings in the show, but what does it mean? The answer could be that the artists genius lies in his ability to rearrange and to fuse disparate elements of his or her practice. While some of the works in the show were created by Chambers, a selection of more than one hundred of his geometric abstractions was created specifically for this show. These geometric abstractions were created during the period of the 1980s and 1990s, at the intersections of abstraction and digital technology. That is, the artist uses geometric forms to connect the two and uses digital technology to connect the two. The forms the artist creates are not the result of the artist taking his or her inspiration from the avant-garde, but rather those that are most directly associated with industrial design. The result is an effective and attractive connotation, not only for the feeling of being in harmony with nature but also for the way in which the human body—the most important component of design—is a metaphor for the relationship between man and nature.Chambers has made geometric abstraction a hallmark of his work for the past three decades. The geometric forms he creates are intended to evoke the sense of harmony created by geometric shapes. In a similar manner, the artist sets out to design a harmonious world. Through geometric patterns, he can be considered a subtle craftsman. In one of the most intriguing works in the exhibition, a geometric design on the wall corresponds to a phallic shape; a geometric shape on the floor corresponds to the head of a stagelike animal. This most recent work takes the form of a series of familiar geometric shapes, each of which is an image of the same type of material as the geometric forms it includes. These geometric geometric forms were created using a process similar to that of the geometric abstractions. But unlike the geometric abstractions, these geometric abstractions are not designed for use, but for a controlled and playful playfulness.

Developing from the Fibonacci theme, Chambers assembles simple geometric objects with a colorful, lived-in surface. Commonly made of wood and zinc, his works recall the distinctive architectural surfaces of medieval churches. All the objects in these exhibition are constructions inspired by the idea of, and by the foundations of, the past. He paints on the surface of these sculptures the patterns and colors of his own family, which is built in the city of Bordeaux. The hallmark of Chryssalidis work is the harmoniousness of his surfaces, which form a picture of harmony. The common geometric shapes of his geometric constructions bring to mind the simple patterns of the early medieval church, a reference to the pinnacles of order and the magnificent architecture of the cathedral.Chryssalidis geometric structures tend to be abstract and geometric in nature, though he always keeps an eye out for the geometric patterns that could be employed to further express his geometric motifs. When he utilizes color and pattern as a way to express his geometric and architectural ideas, Chryssalidi ends up being more intellectual than mechanical. He places little emphasis on the technical aspects of his work, but he never separates the material from its symbolic power. If there is a meaning to be found in his geometric constructions, it is in the history of the creative process, and as such, he never loses sight of the relevance of the human being as the primary and ultimate creator of the world.Chryssalidi places his geometric constructions in a concrete space, but he also imbues them with a deep spirituality. The geometric constructions in this show are a testament to the power of love, of life, and of the strength of the individual. We should never forget that in this age of technological progress, the precious materials of our modern society have the power to transform our lives and to change the world.
