PROJECT 'FUNDAMENTALS' AIMS TO VISUALISE THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF METAPHYSICS UNDERLYING THE STRUCTURES, DYNAMICS, AND DIMENSIONS OF OUR EXISTENCE IN AN ULTRA-MINIMAL BLACK & WHITE ANALOGUE PHOTOGRAPHY FORMAT INTENDED TO REINSTANTIATE THE PRINCIPLES OF CLASSICAL ART THEORY, AESTHETICS, AND GEOMETRY IN THE CONTEXT OF MODERN DYSTOPIAN IRRATIONALITY, INSPIRED BY MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE ARTIST M.C.ESCHER AND INITIATED THROUGH MY OWN FAVOURITE PHOTO OF ALL TIME ‘MINIMALISM’. THE PREMIERE EXHIBITION OF PROJECT 'FUNDAMENTALS' TOOK PLACE IN 2023 AFTER 5 YEARS OF CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT AND FORMED THE BASIS FOR MY INDEPENDENT ART BRAND ON WWW.FRADKIN.NL. THE PROJECT WAS DISTRIBUTED WORLDWIDE WITH A FULL CONCEPT RELEASE AND 24 FINAL ARTWORKS IN 2024. IN 2025, AN INTERNATIONAL COLLECTIVE WAS FORMED BASED ON THE SAME PRINCIPLES. PROJECT ‘FUNDAMENTALS’ CONTINUES IN 2026.
