While this art piece is a case, some overwhelming tapestry of colors and patterns catches our gaze; it commands us to keep our attention on the dynamic composition. Masterly use of umpteen numbers of rectangular blocks in creating this mosaic comes out both chaotic and harmonious at the same time: some perfect balance between disparity and cohesion. Every block is painted in opulent saturated color, from brilliant blues and greens to rich yellows, pinks, and earth tones, yet no one color dominates any of its companions; together, they produce an energetic vibrancy. The incorporation of a myriad of hues imbues the work with a rhythmic dimension reminiscent of an electronic screen trying to scan static or a chaotic, pixelated landscape. His handling of color and form is sure and confident, revealing a refined technique and deep understanding of the principles underlying abstraction. Every section seems to pulse with that fluidity in the visual movement which moves the onlookers’ gaze across the canvas. An illusion of depth and motion through variation in the size of rectangles and the changes in color intensity is original in this work. This interplay creates an interesting, almost hypnotic effect, whereby one feels invited to lose oneself in this maze of shifting shapes and colors. There is no focal point, which further evidences the egalitarian treatment of space, since every inch of the canvas demands and rewards the attention of the viewer. This piece, in essence, is a color and form celebration-a vivid symphony invigorating the senses. It’s an almost boldly complex, intricately executed set piece that continues to divulge new information and angles upon repeat viewings.
