Beyond Duality: The Esoteric Realism of Beny Tchaicovsky

Beny Tchaicovsky (1954-2009) was a multimedia award-winning computer artist and visionary. His art has been categorized as Surrealism or Fantastic Realism, he termed his art as"Esoteric Realism", in which creativity is used as a tool for consciousness exploration and as an agent of social change. Aside from a meaningful metaphysical and cosmic aspect, much of his work is a critique of society's preoccupation with consumerism and war. In the early 90,' Tchaicovsky began expanding his two-dimensional paintings into 3D animation and in the process became one of the pioneering artists who contributed to the history of 3D animation as an art form.

His work has appeared worldwide since it was featured in the Gate to the Mind's Eye and Odyssey into the Mind's Eye. It stood out because it was one of the few works that deserved to be called truly creative, meaningful and artistic. Very few artists nowadays pursue 3D animation for the sake of artistic expression; most are doing special effects, games, commercials, etc. Tchaicovsky conquered the illusionary boundaries between art and science by working in painting; computer generated imagery, 3D animation and as a musician and composer.
