'Blood oranges', by Eric Wert, passed by DeepDream

Blood oranges

Eric Wert takes us to an oil painting of a kind of bloody still life in which red and purple are the two protagonists in the color palette that we can find.

But from this work we can not only stay with what is shown in a first pass, since if we pass DeepDream from Google, a neural network that learns from things that have some special shape, it can find other forms and even all kinds of living beings.

DeepDream is a neural network that when trained with a large number of images, for example of dogs, this one will look for ways that remind us of this living being in those images that we put it. The image provided below shows the result of passing this network to Wert's work, although here the result goes the other way, and makes changes to an image based on when the product satisfies the trained network.

This network works subtly as our mind sometimes does when we see certain forms projected onto a painting that remind us of certain passages in our life or those elements that have had a special relevance for whatever reason. Surrealism also plays with these senses, while other styles fluctuate with this neural network.

In what is painting in particular, there are something quite scary in the bleeding and in that red color that mixes with the cold of purple. All the mixture that surrounds the still life completes that feeling that is defined by the oranges seen in the tentacles that emerge from the orange segments.

You have the web by Eric Wert to follow his work and his special dedication to still lifes. As well on Facebook, where you can follow him, to be with him in his day to day.

More still lifes.
