Digital art of Trong Le. Where all the ideas come into physical painting. Holders of NFTs will get a discount on collecting physical artwork.

Art of Trong Le - 2023

Hello.
I'm Trong Le - a self-taught painter who specializes in digital art and physical painting. I have a passion for creating unique and visually captivating pieces that convey emotions and tell stories. While I may not be the best at speaking English, my artwork speaks for itself. I love exploring different mediums and experimenting with various techniques to bring my visions to life. Through my work, I hope to inspire and evoke feelings in others, and I am always looking to improve and grow as an artist.

Contemporary Artist

Hand drawn from the heart using traditional ink on paper. (with sometimes hints of mixed-media such as acrylic paint)

I create art from the impulse of my heart. As a sufferer of ADHD & anxiety, my work is constantly bouncing around as I strive to escape and create art based purely off of my emotions. So I'm not a dark artist, I am not an erotic artist, nor am I a botanical artist or abstract artist. I am merely an artist of LIFE.

unsig_dreams are created by Tim_the_Sleeper as derivative art pieces from unsigned_algorithms, in the form of distortions, layerings, or combinations of photography, art, or other images from culture.

unsig_dreams were created by Tim_the_Sleeper in 2021 as 'remixed' art pieces from unsigned_algorithms, in the form of layered distortions of unsigs. Every unsig used as a creative start point was from the artist's personal collection or expressly permitted by the unsig owner (at time of creation).

Note - Although the creator of unsigned_algorithms is aware of and is not upset about unsig_dreams, this was not a collaboration and he is not connected with this art project.

"I have the rare neurological condition known as narcolepsy. In my case this is relatively severe and limits my life in many ways. A large portion of the time I exist in liminal states of consciousness, with false memories, hallucinations, microsleeping, dream intrusions, and other similar occurrences being common. In the summer of 2021 I discovered unsigned_algorithms, and found the colours and form combinations extremely captivating, but also calming. For whatever reason I found viewing them to help me relax and regulate my brain a little."

"I began to explore through visual manipulations my relationship with unsigs. Through this I realised that beyond just pleasing images my explorations of unsigs were representative of a deeper analysis. I am very motivated creatively by the complexity of emotions we all experience and how much of that happens at levels below immediate consciousness. The colours and shapes in unsigs seem like they can be a visual metaphor for this and that is one thing that attracts me to them. They became a perfect tool for my attempts at communication of complex lived experiences through art."

"The unsig_dreams project charts my presentations of this relationship with unsigs and exploring what they can mean."

Many unsig_dream pieces were minted as numbered limited editions, which can make viewing the art here a little cumbersome. There is a wallet showing just each of the 53 unique images, which can be viewed here: https://pool.pm/addr1qyzsukqysq4y0p3ytyqgy9385llj69flqxnerr6e9a4d8nvedn2pg29k3cp6rsrq4tt35fa7v7ymsle4hymc39uv6cvqfdm3wp/%40e58cdf80

Why am I here, & what the hell am I doing making art? (originally published as a tweet thread)

Prompted by various interactions, I think it's a good idea to examine just exactly what it is I think I’m doing, & why I think it has merit. Why am I making art in the way that I am?

Partially this is to open a window into my conceptual process that may help you to interpret or experience my art in a way that feels more meaningful.
Partially this is because the 'devils in the mind' always whisper discouragement, & I think it pays to take a moment to reflect.

NARCOLEPSY

So... narcolepsy. This was the fork in my road. I've lived with it now for over 20 years, & it will be with me until I die.
Narcolepsy took from me many things - working, driving, social contacts. Instead it gives me: shifting consciousness, hallucinations, & memory problems.

My experience of reality itself is quite literally altered. I do not process information, memory, emotion in ways that that are typical. I am isolated from society by my very existence. At very least, this gives me a pretty unusual perspective.

When I create images I am struggling with myself and my experiences of awareness. I am trying to communicate a moment of my consciousness. I want to show you what I cannot tell you.

PHOTOGRAPHY

In the past I explored primarily with photography. The idea of using a fixed image, that (in theory) simply represents the visual reality on front of the camera lens, to describe chaotic & unfixed swirls of subconscious intrusions appealed to me.

ABSTRACT ART

Since 2021 I have moved towards directly interrogating the subconscious to produce digital abstract art. This change in approach happened primarily in response to my exposure to a specific piece of art…

UNSIGS

unsigned_algorithms by Alexander Watanabe blew my mind. Without going into details, I found the way that 'unsigs' generative colourscapes are experienced - to be profound. I would recommend becoming familiar with that work of art if you are not already.

MY CREATIVE PROCESS

Although I use digital creative means, everything is the result of individual processes I employ with intention. I’m not doing algorithmic generative, or AI prompt art. Nothing against those – they’re just not suitable for the personal consciousness inquiry I’m aiming for.

That being said, I do not rule out some elements of my work could potentially include something of such means, but only as a small stage within a bigger creative process. I try not to limit my artistic tools, but what I create is of ME & my experiences of what it means to be alive. 

INTENTION

I make art. It helps me to process the way I live & the reality of being me. I don't suppose or suggest that my art is globally 'important'. I don't think I'm answering a question that society requires. Yet still I put my art forward as worthy. Why is that?

What I am trying to present is that sometimes small things, forgotten & overlooked things, can have equal claim to exist & to thrive: to be recorded & validated as a fragment of the total human experience. Sometimes edge cases are valuable, because of the insight they provide.

My art is a visual language that I am attempting to learn & use simultaneously. It communicates as clearly as I am able something true about life. Each piece may be a letter, a sound, a word, a phrase, or a complete essay (or poem) in that language.

You may learn something by contemplation of my art pieces in isolation. I would hope you may learn something more by experience of the wider body. Or not. That would be for the viewer to attest.

BLOCKCHAIN & NFTS

OK, so I've spoken on the what, the how, & something of the why of my creative process. But why NFTs, Cardano, & not on-chain?

Firstly, existing & creating in the isolated niche that I do, it would be uncommon to say the least to find an audience. I don't suppose my purpose or output is of interest to most. NFTs are such a new space that new rules apply. New possibilities to reach people exist.

Why Cardano? Cardano is my choice simply because (in my inexpert opinion) it's the best placed blockchain to be significantly meaningful in the widest possible sense for the longest possible time period. Other people can explain why that is better than I.

ON-CHAIN ART

In many ways the best case NFT art makes for itself is the developing on-chain movement. On-chain art is something genuinely new. The possibilities and potential boundaries for creation this brings are only just starting to be imagined. So why am I not doing that?

In truth as an on-chain artist I could not achieve what I am attempting to create. I’m not a code artist. I also require the best version visually possible of my imagery. The constraints of on-chain would restrict rather than enhance my capacity to succeed in my artistic purpose.

SUMMARY

I make art in the best & most thoughtful way I can. I present that art to the world in the hope somehow it reaches people who find some meaning, comfort, or interest from it. Over time I would wish the body of work may tell a story that can offer insights that are worthy of note.

That's my story. Apologies for the long text. Turns out I had a fair bit I wanted to say!
Thank you for reading.

The Sacred Muse gallery is curated by Poetonic and Pixel Tales. It exists to showcase, support, and document the exceptional talent of diverse artists publishing their work on Cardano. 

The Sacred Muse Gallery

Poetonic emerged as an art project shaped by enigmatic impulses that guide the artist, akin to an external puppeteer, blending chaos and consciousness to craft creations that defy understanding. Rooted in a break from traditional influences, the art rejuvenates practical and theoretical realms. Originating from textures captured in Shanghai's urban tapestry in 2019, Poetonic fuses visual and emotional expressions. 

Exploring the ways in which seemingly random and disordered elements can be weaved together to create something unique and meaningful.

As applied to the live music experience, to mosh is to be up front and close to the action. When you are shoulder-to-shoulder with your fellow enthusiasts, feeding your energy back to the musicians and facilitators who are crafting the communal experience. To be "caught in a mosh" is to be so deep in it that you have given up some of that feeling of control, which can be both scary and exciting. My handle Cardanomosh reflects my desire to experience as many different aspects of the Cardano blockchain as I can while feeding back my energy to the creators and operators who are making it all possible. There is no scene unless you show up for the scene.

Collecting art, music, and the printed word combines private world-building with financial and social validation of the creators behind the collected works. Collecting also honors the hard work and financial risk of the publishers and distributors who curate and make creative works available. The world-spanning openness of the Cardano blockchain transforms, amplifies, and extends the creation, distribution, and consumption experience for everyone. My collection is not just a bunch of stuff in my house anymore. On the blockchain, and on Kreate, everyone can see and enjoy the world I am building.

I don't consider myself an artist, in the true sense, but I enjoy the ways that technology makes it possible to transmit ideas into new forms that can be shared and leave their mark on the world. I am interested in the ways generative AI prompt engineering can induce novel, unexpected results. I enjoy the invocation of sensical hallucinations from the AI at the intersection of intention and accident, often with an element of the absurd. I am interested in the idea that the AI will keep evolving in terms of both the deep learning models and the training corpus. I see artistic value in capturing moments in that evolution where the AI generates outputs that, if preserved, may with the passage of time become recognizable epochal variations. 

And it's fun. That's the main thing. Enjoy it for what it is.

BASERMATTER

As an artist, I embrace the concept of "baser matter" as the fundamental and essential elements that define the core essence of each work.

Once found baser matter represents a material to be explored and played with, where unexpected and emergent phenomena can arise, take shape, and transform.

Baser matter as an idea allows me to stay connected to my raw and primal reactions to the work while maintaining focus on the core essence.
