Techspressionism is a new way to express emotion through art by using technology. Coined by Colin Goldberg in 2011, the term was first used. In 2020, Goldberg initiated the first Techspressionist Salon. This action kick started the movement. Techspressionism is an artistic approach in which technology is utilized as a means to express emotional experience. Its movement is digital and enchanting the artists work together all at once from their various locations and usually worldwide. As Pollock would say, “each age finds its technique” for the techspressionist age, that technique is technology. The beginning of this new artistic movement started in 2020. ROOT WORDS (source: Oxford Dictionaries): expressionism: A style of painting, music, or drama in which the artist or writer seeks to express emotional experience rather than impressions of the external world. Technology: The application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry. To be the first wave of this form of artistic expression is not only fascinating, it is exhilaratingly delightful. Today our studio has the first ever certified “techspressionist”. The word techspressionism is a mouth full. Our techspressionist on the show today are in today’s top tier and historically the first of their kind. Karen LaFleur of LaFleur Artworks is a member of Inspiration Art Group International, curated by artist Bibiana Huang-Matheis. You can view her works at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington D.C., the Fuller Craft Museum in MA, and the Cape Cod Museum of Fine Arts in MA. Private and public collections worldwide also feature her works. On the other hand, Renata Janiszewska is an inspiring techspresssionist who comes from the Bauhaus school of thought. By the way, please don’t look at the spelling of the last name because to say Renata’s last name and to see the spelling of it reminds me of one of those IQ tests to check how we say and spell words without a dictionary. She expresses her emotional self through electronics using digital technology. Her artistic depth reads through as she uses digital and analog elements to convey her inner world on her electronic canvas to articulate chance, ecology, shamanism, and degradation. Her exhibitions run at the Toronto Museum and galleries across the country. Together, they produce and execute the most emotional mind-bending journey on the different layers and many levels of the ocean. Mariniana: The Interrupted Wave is showing now and the first Techspressionist project to be featured at the Cape Cod Museum, MA.
