Rhythmic Shadows is a profound example of modern, abstract
art at its finest. This painting is stripped down to the most basic elements,
yet still manages to provide a moving visual experience that no viewer will be
able to deny. In the style of artistic greats like Jackson Pollock and De
Kooning, Rhythmic Shadows is a deeply moving artistic experience that does not
need or adhere to the trappings of traditional art. With an extremely limited
color palette of only black and white, Rhythmic Shadows still manages to
provide the viewer with depth, movement, and nuance that is hard to achieve
even with a full spectrum of colors. The dominant shapes of this painting are
circles, yet the are contrasted by opposing shapes and lines that dash across
the canvas almost of their own volition, without regard for the other shapes.
The dualities presented by this contrast are interesting and provide plenty of
fodder for discussion about the way different elements in such a modern piece
of art interact with and play off each other. The lines themselves in Rhythmic
Shadows are varied, from thick and very purposefully applied to those that seem
to simply be splashed carelessly across the canvases. This, is a painting of
contrasts, and the contrasts are perhaps what make it so interesting.
Keeping in line with the modern sensibilities present
everywhere in this original painting, the artist has also chosen to
contemporary composition. Rhythmic Shadows does not come on a standard single
stretched canvas, but on a series of three. The three canvases the compose the
whole of Rhythmic Shadows are all of uniform size and shape, but create
distinction between different portions of the painting. Each separate piece of
Rhythmic Shadows could very nearly stand alone as an indivdual piece of art,
but when hung together they seem to create a conversation full of purpose and
ripe with meaning. The multi-panel layout creates new lines through the blank
spaces between each piece and further increases the contrast between the smooth
and erratic lines on the canvas, and the purposeful, straight lines created
between them. If you would like to explore more modern pieces of original
