Allen Mack, “New Reality”, 2024 – contemporary painting on digital rupture and transformation
Allen Mack, painting “New Reality”, 2024 presents a world poised on the edge of collapse and digital transformation. The fragmented space of the canvas resembles a computer glitch or corrupted data file, from which distorted, barely recognisable faces emerge. It is a painting in which figure, landscape and abstraction are all broken apart, forming an unsettling visual record of the digital age.
The characters inhabiting this new reality seem trapped between dream, memory and virtual simulation. Their identities are unstable, as if being assembled in real time by algorithms and digital filters. The viewer is left disoriented: are we witnessing the end of a familiar order, or the painful birth of something post-human and yet to be defined?
The tension between organic elements (painterly gesture, traces of human faces, fluid colour) and synthetic structures (hard-edged divisions, pixel-like disturbances, screen-like surfaces) reaches a climax in this work. Mack creates a hypnotic, anxiety-filled vision that powerfully reflects the fears and hopes of the digital era – the fear of losing our humanity and the fascination with new modes of existence.
“New Reality”, 2024, is an important piece for collectors interested in technology-inspired contemporary painting, where traditional painterly craft intersects with the visual language of glitch art, virtual reality and posthuman thought.
