South African artist Chris Slabber has created an exquisite series of images using pigmented ink and paint falling through water. Slabber captures incredibly detailed images of the liquid plumes with high-speed photography and digitally manipulates them, blending in faces and figures. Recently exhibited at KKNK 2014, an Afrikaans-language art festival in Oudtshoorn SA, the series is eerily beautiful yet deceptively simple.
On his profile, Slabber reveals that he was inspired by the ink and water sculptures of UK-based Alberto Seveso. He continues to say:
“The idea behind this series was to show that from Destruction comes Creation. As the paint falls there is a constant point of creation, but at the same time it destroys itself."
Prints from the series, entitled Destruction/Creation, are available to buy on Behance or on Saatchi Art
