Daeu Angert. Signature Chaos. 2024. The Aesthetics of Chaos Collection. Mixed Media. 36 x 48 inches (91.44cm x 121.92cm)
Signature Chaos is a part of the ‘The Aesthetics of Chaos,’ a solo exhibition by Daeu Angert. In this captivating series of multimedia paintings, Daeu explores the profound juxtaposition of uncertainty, randomness, and the quest for order within the creative process.
Each piece is a four-layered structure comprising a foundational color, texture, paint, and inks, forming an arrangement of elements that echo the complexities of artistic expression.
At the heart of this collection is a unique artistic process, a conversation between the artist and the art. Each layer is a deliberate act of ‘creating chaos,’ guided by spontaneous impulses. For instance, textures are manipulated to the rhythm of serendipitously chosen drum solos. Daeu embraces the unpredictability of creativity, and the artworks respond with their own ‘reactions,’ shaping a narrative that evolves organically yet remains congruent with the idea of the collection — ‘The Aesthetics of Chaos’.
This exhibition invites viewers to witness and contemplate the convergence of intention and chance, where chaos is not merely disorder but a fertile ground for discovery and beauty.
