This triptych will be one of my newest
pieces.
(3 simple checkerboards of squares
within a
larger rectangular frame)
_________
As an artist it's a challenge playing
games
with the viewer's eyes.
I explored
rhythms and variations of density with
small
squares, creating a
feeling of rhythmic movement not
normally
found among squares.
To make use of maximum contrasts in
these
almost
monochrome collages
I
incorporated
silver leaf, car paint chips,
Chinese newspaper.
The
importance of squares in
art,
together with
other basic geometric shapes, changed
with
the
arrival of Modern Art about 100 years
ago,
especially Cubism.
This
change
caused
painters, sculptors and printmakers to
become
excited about the creative possibilities of
all
kinds
of geometric shapes.
From almost the beginning of Modern
Art,
some
artists became very involved with ideas
using
shapes that were entirely geometric, and
were
especially creative with square shapes.
As
time went on, some artists came to
delight in
visual effects that teased people's eyes
by
presenting geometric shapes in ways that
were
more like visual puzzles.

STUNNING ABSTRACTS, Olga.. it has a rhythm indeed... Few days ago I found a box with small tiny papers - squares. This very much reminds me of that box with paper.. especially, I see here notes. The u-tube is FANTASTIC.. Fits splendidly with the music.. BRAVO!!
