“Black Square Embellished” comprises 30 pieces (20″x20″ each) that reflect Kazimir Malevich‘s “Black Square” after glitch treatment.

The glitch treatment is the embellishment of “Black Square” in each case, and it could be argued that it is also the defacement of the same. Is this act of changing the appearance or surface of “Black Square” for better or worse, or does it matter? Would Malevich disapprove of these digital renditions since he once stated, “there’s nothing more after “Black Square”?

Things evolve, and opinions change, and Chambers considers “Black Square Embellished” an evolution of sorts … a move from Malevich’s Suprematism towards Neo-Suprematism. There are those out there who might even interpret these pieces as Anti-Suprematism.

Malevich’s “Black Square” changed the interpretation of art … “Black Square Embellished” changes the interpretation of “Black Square”.
