MemoRealism and MemoRealist theory take into account two important aspects of human experience that are paramount in the creation of art which elicits emotion, reaction and a sense of satisfaction for an artist and inevitably the viewer of art. These aspects of human experience are memory and recognition. In our human experience, memory is one of the most utilized yet underestimated experiences of our daily lives. It is the constant hum in our brain, continually comparing,associating and estimating; memory influences every decision we make whether we are looking to the future or remembering the past, and yet it is flawed. So many times we've been told, the function of memory is not precise. We forget details. We fill in the gaps with other thoughts and memories. This is the human experience of memory; imprecise and fuzzy, detail scraped from the edges. And though our memories may be imprecise, humans place a high value on the experience of recognition. We are most comfortable if we can experience each day with clear recognition of our surroundings, knowing where we are going and with whom or what we will be associating. Humans are predisposed to prefer experiences which can be recognized; experiences that can be pieced together with a familiar thread; experiences based in the safe, familiar 'realities' of our own social construction. In the instance of visual art, the viewer of an art-piece requires images that are realistic enough for their minds to recognize the subject within the art, yet do not require the absolute, precise detail of our social reality to be understood. It is a comfort to view a piece of art with a sense of recognition, while acknowledging the imprecise filter of memory. Human experience allows for and has adapted to the gaps in reality. MemoRealism is a study of this.
