The Colour of Feeling

The Colour of Feeling is a series of 5 video artworks by Thomas Lisle. The works in the collection are reflections on psychological, environmental and philosophical ideas that inspire Lisle, combined with the ideas and techniques about the future of painting in the digital realm. The animations are attempts to make animated digital paintings which have visual dynamism, beauty and energy. Each piece can be seen as a representation of a psychological 'complex'; the easiest way to describe a 'complex' is a 'structure of the psyche that gathers together similar feeling-toned elements'.

"These animations are inspired by forces and ideas that can be found in nature and our psyche, with a central theme of finding balance and equilibrium. I see the autographic, the hand-making marks and drawing as central to my work. Using digital 3D paint strokes to expand the boundaries of what a paint stroke is capable of. I use 3D paint strokes as the basis for gas, liquid and particle simulations to make digital visual time-based equivalents to traditional abstract painting, a kind of digital painting for the 21st century.

All the pieces use complex procedural and generative art programming to make carefully controlled abstraction as well as chaos and randomness, which is then manipulated and composed into some kind of visual order. We live in ecosystems that took billions of years to arrive at the equilibrium we have inherited, and the dangers of destroying it- are only just starting to be felt." - Thomas Lisle
