Smoke picture selected for cover of Aleatoric Art catalog

The Movement of Aleatoric Modern Artists (MAMA) has created a catalog to represent some of the work of its members. My work ‘Boy and his new Balloon’ was selected for the cover of the publication.Inside the catalog each page has a work and some text, and next to Boy and his new Balloon, this is the text, written by Ray Cabarga:

A patient stalker of moments

The law of averages dictates that even amidst confusion and chaos, there is an equal change that perfection and harmony prevail- if only for a fleeting instant.

Imagine if your perception was so acute that you could divide every thought in your mind an infinite number of times and observe the process of thinking itself. You might discover, with every thought, one instant where you were a genius and another in which you were insane. And what if you could see every possibility in every moment and had the time to choose the right one.

Stoffel De Roover’s smoke art photography transcends time and space to effectively capture the intangible and allow us to appreciate what otherwise would have been lost forever in an endless procession of moments in transition. He will stake out a billow of smoke and, with laser precision, ambush the ephemeral gauze at the precise moment when it unwittingly does his bidding.
