Variations on a Tumultuous Theme

 These are variations on Tumultuism. The definition of tumultuism includes the use of color to create the broad works so far seen in the project. These take a radical turn and remove color as a constant within the art and only focus on either strict black and white portraits or single color almost completely bleached from the art. With that in mind the following definition of Tumultuism has been changed to reflect this variation.

 Tumultuous Art (Tumultuism) - A theory of art which is disorderly, fractured and dreamlike in its presentation. It may exhibit a confused state, akin to looking through a piece of fractured glass at the subject of the art, similar to an acid trip or lucid dreaming. The subjects are often out of focus. It sometimes exhibits a similarity to cubist art, but is not always about strait lines to view and interpret the subject through. The form is determined by the Abstraction Point. This is the point where the subject goes from a recognizable state to a state of total anarchy and abstraction. This is also part of the attraction of Tumultuous art because viewing close up to the image it breaks apart into an abstraction. The further back you step the more the subject of the art jumps out. The concept also utilizes the artists theories in "harmonic Dissonance". Where many layers signifying different levels of color, texture and design are brought together in harmony. Tumultuism may also include strictly monochromatic art where color is totally removed from the equation.

Written on the Wind - A Tumultuous Body Painting Session (Series in Progress)

This session was called Written on the Wind because it was done in the midst of heavy winds that nearly caused us to call of the session. But we came up with a different plan for the set we built and continued on to create the following images in the Tumultuist Style.
