1. Sergey Kir: The Artist That is Revolutionising Abstraction
Throughout the centuries, artists have led social progress by pushing the
boundaries of culture and by translating their contemporaneity into their
work, often anticipating tendencies. This is exactly what Sergey Kir is doing.
With a background in finance and a deep knowledge of architecture and art
history, the artist developed his practice by combining those influences. The
result is a new artistic movement called Conceptivism, that is intended to
further the legacy of the 20th century’s Avantgarde and to open a new
chapter in Western art history. Sergey Kir developed a unique method to
realise his “paintings”. He integrates financial modelling and portfolio
optimisation techniques from quantitative finance into the artistic process,
combining them with hand drawing, painting and digital photography. This
potentially disruptive techniques adds another perspective to the debate

2. around the interaction between human activities and machine optimisation
in the creative industry. Even though the process allows a certain level of
freedom to the program, it is the artist that sets the framework for the
computer to work and ultimately intervenes to complete the final image
regaining total control over the outcome. Conceptivism celebrates both the
idea, as a manifestation of the artist’ genius, and the aesthetic as a medium
to engage with the viewer and connect with them on a deeper level.
Just as Walter Gropius, the first Director of the Bauhaus, believed that mass
production was reconcilable with the individual artistic spirit and developed
the idea of creating a “Gesamtkunstwerk”, comprehensive artwork, in which
all the arts would eventually be brought together, Sergey Kir is now
reconciling individual creativity with digital technologies aiming to
incorporate various forms of artistic expression, drama, emotional

3. motivations and philosophical ideas in a single art piece. With this
“Abstract” series, Sergey Kir, is inaugurating a new trend in abstraction
deeply rooted in western Modernism but completely innovative at the same
time. The flamboyant colours of his art pieces are inspired by the boldness
of the Fauvism, the celebration of speed, progress and technology derives
from the Italian Futurism and the Russian Constructivism, but the volumes,
textures and patterns are something totally new. The artworks resemble
fabrics, geological maps, glass stained windows, fluids, in a kaleidoscope of
unique forms achievable only through the artist’s method. The geometrical
abstraction that aimed to translate the chaotic world into his primary
configurations is here surpassed by an approach that uses analysis and
maths in the process, allowing the forms to run free, instead of constricting
the artist’s imagination in predefined structure. Sergey Kirby’s artworks
leave the viewer surprised and astonished and they inspired curiosity and
thinking as every art pieces should do. We are witnessing the birth of a new
approach to art and abstraction that will certainly have an impact on the
new generations of artists.
The digital painting “Metamorphosis of a Dream” for example, is an
introspective work that explores the subconscious, a recurring theme of the
20th century’s Avant-garde, especially Surrealism. But it approaches the
subject not only from a psychological perspective, it actually portraits the
mind of the dreamer. The different layers, forms and lines are the depiction
of the brain’s neural activities, they highlight the multiple visions that occur
during a dream. The colours play a pivotal role in the construction of the
image. The cold palette that ranges from lilac to turquoise and mint creates
a dreamlike atmosphere, whilst the purple, red, orange and yellow solid
colours create interferences and therefore activate a reaction in the
viewer’s brain. As Kandinksy theorised in his “Concernig the spiritual in art”

4. colours on the painter’s palette evoke a double effect: a purely physical
effect on the eye and a spiritual effect in which the colour touches the soul
itself. This is precisely what Sergey Kir achieves through this artwork.
Moreover, through his unique techniques, the artist is able to create fluid
forms that accompany the eye of the viewer in a pleasant and reassuring
exploration of the whole image. The combination of shades and shapes
create a dynamic surface on the canvas that results in an enchanting optical
energy. This painting is the perfect example of Sergey Kir’s Conceptivism, an
art form that aims to elevate the visual art aesthetics to a much higher
degree and to engage the spectator on a much deeper level by triggering
many of their senses and emotions.
