Severin KRÖN

PERMUTABLE ART

Authentic Artwork That Is Transformable By The Beholder

Art-trend whereby rotting, oxydating or drying out of its components are all part of the subtlety beholden to the admirer.

You may have seen the gradual transformations by software in the arena of virtual art by Brian ENO.

Séverin KRÖN has endowed his art with the possibility to evolve and extend his work in a modular approach that varies to the boundless desires of its master.

His work is mainly non-virtual-something you can really possess-literally! The tangible that entices a probing inspiration.

What!? Are we going to interfere with the artist's work?

Shock! Horror!

Séverin KRÖN wants us to feel like demiurges by modulating his art in order for others to add new dimensions.

The artist spawns us to continue the endeavours of his creation.

His works are formed by squares. Each square may be turned around and changed at will . Regardless of permutation, the connection remains in tact.Each piece of art contains a quasi-unlimited number of new possibilities.

(for a composition of 9 squares: 9x8x7x6x5x4x3x2x4to the 9th = 95 126 814 720; more than 95 billions of possible combinations ).

We become a part of the creative process, inventing our own infinite combinations at leisure.

The master of the art-work becomes its protector.

Other art work by Séverin KRÖN,notably The horse-series, compositions were issued from his permutations that transformed into meaningful ornaments like weaving dreams resembling the origins of life symbolically and spiritually.
