Resurrection Blues by MRCS/MIL CEULEMANS
MRCS/MIL CEULEMANS’ Resurrection Blues, offering a stroboscopic glimpse into an artistic process that is both deeply rooted and continually mutating, prompted and powered by AI.
Resurrection Blues collects 2,300 images, from the detritus of art history to hypnagogic flashes, forming a speculative encyclopedia: a sometimes frame-by-frame genealogy of shapes, textures, and unrealized abstract art movements. The hands-on experience of painter Mil Ceulemans honed over decades of solitary practice — had been interrupted by illness that derailed physical painting with oil, spray, or lacquer impossible. Reanimated through image generators, his intuition now collides with lightning-fast computational systems conditioned by online styles, crowd-sourced expectations, and the short-hand aesthetics of contemporary pop culture. The encounter resembles an unlikely germination: painterly instincts and code intertwine like mycelial strands, producing spores — the images — whose significance unfolds only over time, forming layered interactions of gesture, colour, composition, and surface. As an inquiry into authorship, half-forgotten or misremembered epochs, and a time-sliced breakdown of fictional oeuvres, the book offers a stroboscopic glimpse into an artistic process that is both deeply rooted and continually mutating. With a literary reflection by Peter Terrin (°1968) and MRCS.
