SHOOSTY BUGS / An Art Infestation

Shoosty draws inspiration from the following Historical Genres: Art Nouveau: The use of flowing lines, organic forms, and vibrant colors in the artwork is reminiscent of Art Nouveau, a style that flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Surrealism: The dreamlike and fantastical elements, such as the wasps interacting playfully with the cactus, evoke the spirit of Surrealism, which aimed to tap into the subconscious mind and explore the irrational. Art Deco: The geometric patterns and bold colors present in the background also have some Art Deco influences. Art Deco, popular in the 1920s and 1930s, emphasized geometric shapes, luxurious materials, and a sense of modernity.

Vector Art: Scalability is crucial for an artist like Shoosty whose work often features intricate details and patterns. It allows his art to be reproduced at any size, from small prints to large- scale murals, without losing any quality or sharpness. It also provides great flexibility in terms of editing and ma- nipulation. Shoosty can easily modify his artwork, adjust colors, and experiment with different variations without compromising the original quality. Vector art is also known for its clean lines and sharp edges, which are well-suited for the vibrant and detailed style of Shoosty’s work. Using vector art emphasizes Shoosty’s interest in pre- cision, detail, and the interplay between technology and artistic expression. Chromatic Fusionism: Shoosty, in an attempt to define his own work coined the term “Chromatic Fusionism.” By definition it defies being strictly bound by any single genre. It’s a unique blend of in- fluences and personal style that defies easy categorization. It could be considered a contemporary expression that draws from and reinterprets elements of various historical art movements.
