A derivative of Pointillism which utilizes scientific as well as purely aesthetical principals.
In Matricism, the practitioner applies a logical, sequential, and often scientifically-based process to construct a complete pictorial statement which is typically rendered on canvas with oils (though any medium is equally applicable). Executed with small units or dabs of medium, the texture, pattern, and color geometries can play equal parts in expressing myriad levels of conciousness, abstraction, thought, motion, or being — beyond the obvious subject of the work.
Matricism can thought to be the entire process which encompasses every criteria by which the various components of the design decisions are made — the where, the how and most importantly, the why a given element is placed where it is.
