Description

"Artist in a Pixelated World," by Jean-Yves Solinga, is a wonderful new book of poems that sees him wander into the space between the selectivity of reality "pixelated world" and mellifluous lyricism of his poetic response. From his early teenage poems, he has tried to breach, with only the strength of his humanism, the divide between reality and dreams, life and nothingness, social solidarity and admitting defeat. "Artist in a Pixelated World" attempts to add to those who instinctively, unapologetically and passionately believe in poetry's ability to dare to impose words on the temporal reality we all live. For the front cover, Jean-Yves has chosen Delacroix's magnificent painting, "The Death of Sardanapalus" (1827), which is a reconstructed moment in antiquity of a besieged ruler's narcissistic madness of self-destruction, together with everything around him. The painting itself and the exaggerated pixelated effect applied "highlighting of selected negative areas" is by its very nature an artistically driven decision process. The effect, in many ways, suggests modernity, in our digitized visual world, but also the conscious decision of selection by Jean-Yves in certain specific aspects. In other words the original painting, by Delacroix, is a selective interpretation of an event, symbolic and fraught with meaning--although the passing of time has robbed it of its full impact on modern eyes--and is itself selectively deconstructed and reassembled into a new visual with an additional set of meanings superimposed upon it. And as you read this book of poems you will see the pixelated effect and selection process applied to each and every poem. Jean-Yves has been described as "fearless," and no other epithet is more becoming a poet who is constantly reaching and searching for new ways to express his thoughts. In that regard we are all the wiser, and knowledgeable, while being sublimely entertained.
