Ook hoe Polish digital artist Piotr Forkasiewicz te werk gaat.
The first time I came across the digital art of Forkasiewicz, I felt that, for the first time in my 63 years, I was finally witness, at least visually, to history.
In past years, my sense of “the battle in the dark” was from blurry black and white photographs, shot from Bomber Command aircraft using only the light of flares and the fires below.
They were powerful, immediate, real... but they exposed very little of the human experience in those deadly skies—a ghostly silhouette, a haze of smoke, an intimation of the inferno ignited below.
Through Forkasiewicz’s breathtaking abilities with light and darkness, I can now see back 70 years to those dark nights, last sunsets and happy sunrises when life is renewed yet again.
The flames blow torching from the crippled Number 3 engine are not modelled in the computer,
but applied by hand by the artist in the form of layered photographic imagery blended together and representing with frightening sensuality the fuel-fed,
slipstream-blown fire that would burn through a Lancaster’s wing in a matter of minutes.
Forkasiewicz’s thirst for detail is astonishing.
Not only is every rivet, aluminium joint and formed component perfect in every way,
he takes us closer still,
right into the cockpit and crew compartment.
Forkasiewicz’s work enables us to see war machines and their crews as one blended unit and from angles never before imagined.
Als je opNow, I invite you into the world of Piotr Forkasiewicz.
It is a world where you can open with a wide sweeping image of a raging aerial gunfight and then zoom in and in and in until you see the pupils in the eyes of the airmen and feel their fear, their awe, their youth.
I invite you also to look, as I did, for the power, the emotions, the lessons, the history, the fear and yes... the art. You will not be disappointed.
