KAZIMIR MALEVICH

Kazimir Malevich painted ‘the black Suprematist Square’ in 1915, in the heat of World War 1. Although he did firstly consider and approach the idea 2 years before, in 1913. Originally the black square was not intended to have any symbolic meaning, its purpose was to solve artistic problems. However the painting encouraged a multitude of interpretations and even provoked sceptical remarks such as ‘so, this is also art?’ as anyone could paint a black square. In reality, ‘the black square’ is a very complex painting, creating and painting the square required a very  ssolid knowledge of colours, compositions and artistic proportions.

 I created the style by looking at a variety of different ways to arrange my squares. Displaying them in a variety of scales trying to make complex designs those similar to Malevichs style of working. After a while I wanted to change my concept and idea of making the designs complicated, so I changed them to simple but yet bold designs following Malevich creative style to show I was inspired and to be able to show my link towards his art work.

 What I like about his designs is how he makes some such simple designs, but yet they vary in composition and range of shades of the squares. Kazimir rarely used bright colours within his squares, the majority of his colour was scheme is dark colours, close to black. I believe he did this to make a bold statement within his designs, almost like a poetic piece of artwork that don’t clearly display its concept or statement, but gives you a chance to interpret the concept yourself, make you think of what the artist is really trying to make communicate.
