ABSTRACT CHAOS ON CANVAS      PHILIPPE HALABURDA STUDIO IN AIX-EN-PROVENCE, FRANCE     APRIL 2016

I need more chaos around me

I need more chaos around me

Abstract chaos on canvas, Aix-en-Provence, 2016

Chaos addicts are more common than you can imagine. 
Whenever a human being is confronted with such situations, we develop defensive responses for action or attack.
At the same time, these reactions are accompanied by a series of chemical changes, which I try to represent here:
one of the most important of them is the production of adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormones.

About the theme of "the diversity of communities in NYC"

New York City is renowned for its unparalleled diversity, serving as a melting pot of cultures, ethnicities, and communities worldwide.

From bustling Chinatown to vibrant Little Italy, the city is a patchwork
of neighborhoods, each with its distinct identity and cultural heritage.

In my artistic exploration of this diversity, I seek to capture the essence of New York's communities through abstract topography reminiscent of cartography.

Through intricate geometric compositions, I aim to represent the dynamic interplay of different neighborhoods and ethnic enclaves within the city.

Each shape and color serves as a reflection of the unique cultural fabric of
New York showcases the rich tapestry of traditions, languages, and customs
that coexist within its boundaries.

By juxtaposing these diverse elements, I seek to highlight the interconnectedness of communities and how they contribute to the vibrant mosaic of the city.  

In creating these abstract topographies, I draw inspiration from the complex interactions and intersections that define New York's urban landscape.

By layering shapes and patterns, I aim to convey the multifaceted nature
of the city's communities, exploring how they evolve and adapt.

Through my artwork, I hope to celebrate the diversity and resilience of
New York's residents showcase the beauty and complexity of their shared experiences within the larger tapestry of the city.
