Triple Seismic Waves with Oscillation #1

‘Triple Seismic Waves with Oscillation #1’ [July 2020] by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, dip nib ink pen on A3 180gsm paper.

Spontaneously sharing my latest dip nib ink pen artwork using iron gall ink entitled ‘Triple Seismic Waves with Oscillation #1’.

Electronic oscillation produces pleasing visual effects.  This artwork seeks to replicate the idea in drawing form using my free hand technique for the curved lines.  I love scientific art.  Curves, electronics, seismographs, oscillators, earthquakes, sound waves, along with the beauty of artistic courses.

For this artwork I use a nib that creates a double ink line due to the noticeably distant ‘tines’ of the metallic nib.  The flow of ink is important with dip nibs where one is wishing to produce a continuous line across a ‘decent measure of time’ once upon the paper.

The effect of oscillation can been seen vertically in this artwork.

The value of art can be truly awe-inspiring.

‘Seismic Waves [first version]’ by Matt The Unfathomable Artist, Blue ink on A4 paper, artwork whereabouts unknown.

Tracey Emin is also renowned for art that is timeless and of the moment.

Spontaneous of inspiration.

All artists will speak of their essence, primality or inner conscious feelings overtaking their work.  Becoming a sort of seismic needle I suppose.  Reacting to inputs, impulses and vibrations somewhere out there in the ether.

I’m not sure whether I’d read about the particular earthquake earlier on that day or not.  We all read about these things so often these days.  I was moved in a humanly caring way to produce this on paper with ink pen.

There are artists and people generally speaking that are so organised.  If I had a spacious art studio I probably would stack everything in perfect order.

Probably.

A collaboration of famous rock musicians, lyrically brilliant songwriters wrote “I put the pen to the paper ’cause it’s all a part of me.”

I’ve always loved those lyrics for all their honest genius.  Beyoncé recently referenced historical symbology to her musical performances.  Art is an inspiration.  Of self and others.

Someone a few years ago wrote:

‘I want to change the world by keeping it the same and I want to change the world by making it different.’.  They wrote this to their dear Nan.  Electronically so to speak.

Is 50 years really so much time to wait?

Depends on how you view Time.
