colour and light

Figuring light, and the intangible exhibition at Djanogoly art gallery lakeside.

I found this piece very interesting and eye catching, the artist Rebecca partridge has used I wide collection of both contrasting and complimentary colors. Even more interesting is the use of plain white for the background and the way in which the concentration of colour reduces as the geometrical shapes near the edges of the piece, as if creating movement.

When this piece first caught my eye the different colors on each side of all the geometrical shapes appeared random. But as I looked more and more I noticed that the majority of the shapes were either themed with warm colours or cold colours, but then just to ruin my theory I noticed there were a few shapes consisting of both warm and cold colours. That’s what I like about this piece, it confuses me.

Light has been taken into account with this piece in a very interesting way, some of the geometrical shapes are a solid colour but the ones with a lower concentration of colour appear translucent against the white background. More interesting than that is the larger geometrical shapes near the edges. they have the least concentration of colour, what I found interesting was how these shapes don’t appear translucent but appear in the distance, giving the picture great depth
