WALLICHII
Stephen Shooster, aka Shoosty, introduces “Dicranocephalus Wallichii” (2025) at the Shoosty Bugs exhibition in Daytona’s Museum of Arts and Sciences, a serene 36” square vector art piece on 18mm silk twill. This Zen-inspired work envelops a still beetle in a meditative aura, surrounded by stylized water drops that enhance its elegant, symmetri - cal patterns. The rich red background amplifies the beetle’s intricate design, a testament to Shoosty’s Chromatic Fusionism, which fuses the science of art with the cultural syn - thesis of civilizations, leveraging vector technology and Internet-informed creativity. The silk twill’s delicate texture elevates the piece’s tranquil sophistication. This composition echoes the minimalist yet detailed woodblock prints of Japanese artist Hokusai, whose works often blend natural forms with serene symmetry, though Shoosty’s digital precision adds a contemporary edge.
