یادداشتِ مدیرِ گالریِ هنرِ امروز در معرفیِ مهرداد گروسی و فرکتال‌ آرت

گالریِ هنرِ امروز از اواخرِ سالِ 1393 فعالیتِ خود را آغاز کرده و در همین زمانِ کوتاه توانسته با نگاهِ مثبتِ فرهنگی و حمایتِ صادقانه‌یِ خود از اهالیِ تجسمی، چشم‌اندازی تازه و امیدبخش برایِ هنرمندانِ تجسمی در فضایِ غبارآلودِ این‌روزهایِ محیط‌هایِ تجسمی ایجاد کند. امیدواریم مدیریتِ این گالری با تلاش‌هایِ مثبت و روزافزونِ‌شان برایِ حفظِ این افقِ دید، از حمایتِ همه‌جانبه‌یِ پشتوانه‌هایِ فرهنگ و هنرِ ایران برخوردار شوند تا بتوانند مسیری تازه برایِ هنرمندانِ تجسمی باز کنند. (شادی آفریده‌گان-تحریریه‌یِ هنرگردی)

واژه‌یِ فرکتال به‌معنیِ سنگی‌ست که به‌شکلِ نامنظم شکسته شده باشد.

 این واژه در سال 1976 توسطِ ریاضیدانِ فرانسوی به‌نامِ بنوئیت مندل‌برات واردِ دنیایِ ریاضیات شد، مندل‌برات با تحقیق پیرامونِ طولِ سواحلِ انگلیس به‌این نتیجه رسید که هرگاه با مقیاسِ بزرگ این طول اندازه گرفته شود کم‌تر از زمانی است که مقیاس کوچک‌تر باشد. او اعلام کرد که ابرها به صورتِ کُره نیستند، کوه‌ها همانندِ مخروط نمی‌باشند و سواحلِ دریا دایره شکل نیستند، پوستِ درختان صاف نیست و صاعقه به‌صورتِ خطِ مستقیم حرکت نمی‌کند. بنابراین هندسه نااقلیدسی – الگوریتم – حجم‌هایِ کاملِ اصلی، به‌ترین نشان دهنده‌یِ عناصِر طبیعی نبوده و با آن‌ها در تضادند و این بی‌نظمی را در مقیاس‌هایِ کوچک هم ایجاد خواهند کرد که این از خصوصیاتِ اصلی فرکتال است.

در تمام دوره‌هایِ تاریخِ هنر و در فرهنگ‌هایِ مختلف شاهدِ خلقِ آثاری با ساختارهایِ متنوعِ فرکتال هستیم .آثاری چون مقرنس‌هایِ ایرانی و معماریِ زیرِ گنبدِ مسجدِ امامِ اصفهان، نقوشِ اسلیمی و ختایی، گره‌های هندسی و آثارِ موجود در هنرهایِ بومی مانند هنرِ افریقا و در آثارِ هنرمندانِ مدرنی چون جکسون پالاک و لاری پونز.

سالِ گذشته با آثارِ نقاشیِ فرکتالِ هنرمندی به‌نامِ مهرداد گروسی مواجه شدم که با ترکیبِ کدنویسی و فضایِ سه‌بُعدی دست به‌خلقِ آثارِ فرکتالی می‌زند که تصاویرِ خارق‌العاده‌ای از فضا، نور، رنگ و احساس را ایجاد می‌کند ، فضاهایی که انسان را به درونِ خود فرو برده و به کشف و شهود وادار می‌کند. فرم‌ها و حرکت به‌سویِ تکاملِ آن‌ها، تکثیر، پراکنده‌گی و بازگشت‌هایِ غیرِمنتظره‌شان و بازی‌هایِ متنوع و حجم و نورها که درعینِ تکرار، تنوع‌طلبیِ چشمِ بیننده را جواب‌گو هستند، دقایقی طولانی مخاطب را در مقابلِ اثر به تماشا وامی‌دارد. احجامی که درعینِ حرکت پویا و تو در تو، درفضایِ تابلو محصور شده‌اند.

مهرداد گروسی که در سالِ  1363  در همدان متولد شده است، ازده ساله‌گی مشغولِ نقاشی با مدیوم‌هایِ سنتی بوده و از سالِ   1386  مشغول به‌فعالیت در زمینه‌یِ فرکتال‌آرت دوبُعدی گردیده، او از سالِ 1388 آغاز به‌فعالیت در زمینه‌یِ فرکتال‌آرت سه‌بُعدی نموده و موردِ توجهِ بسیاری از مراکز و محققین قرار گرفته که در پایانِ متن به‌عنوانِ بیوگرافیِ کاریِ هنرمند به آن‌ها اشاره خواهد شد.

در این مسیر گالریِ هنرِ امروز که حامی و مشوقِ هنرمندانِ نوگرا و جوان ایرانی، به‌خصوص هنرمندانِ عرصه‌یِ دیجیتال می‌باشد، اقدام به برگزاریِ نمایش‌گاهی از آخرین آثارِ این هنرمند نموده است. این نمایش‌گاه که از تاریخِ 8/3/1394 الی 20/3/1394 در محلِ گالری برپاست، مجموعه‌ای از آثارِ فرمالیستی و فرکتالِ این هنرمند است که بر پایه‌یِ برنامه‌نویسیِ رایانه‌ای خلق شده‌اند.

امید است دیگر هنرمندانی که در فضایِ دیجیتال فعالیت می‌کنند هم‌چون مهرداد گروسی با کشفِ ارزش‌هایِ تصویریِ بدیع و خلاقانه در آثارِ خود، اقدام به ایجادِ فضایی نوگرا در هنرهایِ تجسمیِ ایرانِ عزیزِمان نمایند.
