Paleo Capriccio
Bartholomeus Van Bassen was a Dutch architect who lived between 1590 to 1652. He is involved in a number of architectural projects for instance, the dutch parliament and the King’s workplace. However, apart from being an architect, Van Bassen had a reputation as one of the most important architectural painter in Northern Netherlands in the early of sixteenth century.
He painted mostly imaginary church and palace interiors for example, in the Procession in Cathedral. Van Bassen introduces light and atmospheric effects as as means of articulating architectural space as he realized that they are as important as perspective drawing for producing a convincing illusion of a three - dimensional space.
Human and animals are painted mostly to suggest the overwhelming scale of the architecture. At this point, the monument has been placed in the crossing, partially obscuring the view into the nave shows his light and shadow technique to create the visual effect he wants. Moreover, he even sometimes exaggerate the scale of architectural elements. Along the analyzation, the nave appear to look longer than it really is while the staircase is overscale.
Neo Capriccio
Tishk Barzanji is an Iraqi artist currently based in London. He makes surreal, dreamy landscape in pastel shades with combination of photography and digital production of images, mixing 3d modeling with collage.
Most of his work relates to human side of isolation and anxiety to depict what he once faced and his Utopian vision of a world where there are no boundaries for space and color, everything colliding with free will. The foreground in most of the works is dominated by walls and staircases creating the complexity and sometimes revealing the impossibility of the space.
Immersive Capriccio
In this Immersive Capriccio, Audience will be experiencing spatial qualities from both paleo and neo Capriccio in many aspects just like we are walking in their works.
