Images viaSouth African artist Chris Slabber acquired his love for surrealism while growing up in a plateau basin region known as the Klein Karoo. Inspired by its grand, uninhabitable vistas, seemingly randomly arranged mountains, and extremely adaptive wildlife (as well as the work of designer Alberto Seveso), Slabber's mixed-media image submission to the KKNK 2014 arts festival, Destruction/Creation, is an ode to the simultaneously constitutive and deconstructive impulses of nature.Claims Slabber, "The idea behind this series was to show that from Destruction comes Creation. As the paint falls there is a constant point of creation, but at the same time it destroys itself." By dripping mixed paint into water, and then overlaying and manipulating digital photographs, Slabber is at able to show forms at once in the ecstatic states of their own makings and unmakings.Below, more selections from Chris Slabber's Destruction/Creation:Follow Chris Slabber on Twitter, and visit Saatchi Art to purchase the above works. h/t EpicHumorRelated:Artist In Rotterdam Creates The Biggest Artwork In The WorldDay-Glo Fractal Visions Inspired By Alan TuringLee Bul's Labyrinth of Infinity Mirrors: Via Negativa II
