Trippy Deepism...

'Deepism' is an art movement that combines contemporary and abstract to form depth within a seemingly flat surface (no lies, I didn't just randomly make the word up). It has a traditional abstract look to it but because it deals with space, it challenges us to interpret it on many different levels. When you think about it, everything has depth; physics, biology, psychology, and even philosophy. All of these combined form our world in which we as humans exist in different dimensions of depth. Yücel Dönmez (a Turkish born American) is an artist who firmly believes and works with the idea of 'Deepism'. He creates an unusual and surreal world that plays with our understanding of space. When you look at this painting, you feel lost in thoughts and emotions and although his work is made up of forms in an abstract style, it has the amazing ability to unite reality and unreality as one in an understandable way. I reckon because he visually touches on so many different levels of our thinking, both mentally and physically(space), he proves the individual art movement known as 'Deepism' exists. I really like his work, especially his use of colors and how he uses the varying brush strokes and textured background to create the illusion of a world within the canvas. It's trippy assssssssssssss.. This is my favorite painting by him because of the tie-dye effect, it reminds me of fans or feathers..or even mussel shells, mmmmm mussels. Yum..

These are a couple more of my favorite ones by him..

Okay William so I admit I've never heard of it until I searched 'art movements' and came across a painting by Yücel Dönmez, but apparently 'Deepism' is accepted as a basic category representative of art in this new era… So am hoping you accept it as an art movement too..? I love it which is odd because I'm not really into abstract-y art, but I reckon I like the buzzy idea behind it and how the art shows it visually..yeah.
