Rumpeltonian Cubism

 Rumpeltonian Cubism emerged in the late digital era as a rebellious mutation of early 20th-century Cubism. While Picasso and Braque dissected reality into precise, angular fragments, Ralph Rumpelton shattered it with the blunt instrument of MS Paint. Critics describe his style as “Cubism run through a cheap blender,” where color and form are less about perfection and more about raw, unfiltered emotion. Unlike traditional Cubists, who sought intellectual rigor, Rumpelton embraced the glitch, the awkward brushstroke, and the accidental pixel as vital components of his truth.

Some art historians argue that Rumpeltonian Cubism is not a step forward but a sideways leap—a reminder that even in a world of hyper-polished digital art, a chaotic, jagged line can still carry the weight of a scream.
