Abstract

This study concentrates on a new idea that is formulated as a creative spatialization in contemporary architecture and painting. It is stimulated from the classical baroque, which is expressed with the conceptual instruments, 'excessive', 'decorative', 'accidential' Suggested from that, this study tries to open the actual sense area of 'the baroque' by analysing the architectural ideas of wrenching and folding by Frank O. Gehry and in the same context by elucidating the dynamic deformalising of the figures by Francis Bacon. The redefined 'new baroque' operates in the chain of the transformable and flexible images that must be recognized as 'the real' in the sense of 'the most empirical' and are vulnerable to dispersal. The typical instrument of Gehry's 'new baroque architecture' is the enclosing of the space and its folding, and Bacon, whose painting can be called as the modern baroque, takes as the expressing methods a wrenching of the figures, a relieving of the colored background against the figure and a disappearing of figures into the background. These different ideas meet in the theoretical gravitation field of the philosophy of Deleuze, in which the reconstituted baroque conception means the tension between the folds, on expansion and contraction of which the variable space is dependent, Through the general principle of 'the new baroque', a free dispersal of power, to architect and painter is offered the possibility, not only to make the real world intimate to the real life, but also to produce from there a vivid new space. Finally it brings to enjoyer and viewer the possibility, to perceive the operating power in and around oneself.
