Entitled “March 26, 2021,” this is a square geometric abstract grid painting 12″ X 12″ acrylic on wood panel painting that is composed of 2304 separate 1/4″ squares of color. It is part of my “Pointillism Grid” series of paintings.
Pointillism Grid Series
My “Pointillism Grid Series” of geometric abstract grid paintings explores how individual squares of color can blend to create a whole. This effect is much like the small, distinct points of color in a Pointillist’s painting that blend to form an image.
Unlike a Pointillist such as Georges Seurat, who loosely applied dots of paint with a brush, I create each “packet” of color within a grid. This is true to my hardedge abstractionist style.
By creating squares of carefully chosen colors close to each other, these paintings create new colors in the viewer’s perception that don’t exist on the surface of the piece. The light reflected by each separate square of color mixes in the viewer’s eyes and mind with these new colors. This is a process known as additive mixing.
This is a new series for me, and I have just a few completed paintings. I currently have several works in progress, so please stop back for images of my new acrylics. Scroll down for the digital Giclee prints that are available in the Pointillism Grid Series. Learn more about my other series of works: Asterism Series, which refers to the “X” that appears to the eye — but does not exist in the painting — and occurs when contiguous colors interact from light to dark or dark to light. In addition, my Interreticulation Series explores the effects created when a grid of interlacing lines – or reticulation – interacts with a layer of geometric shapes of varying colors.
Please scroll down for detailed images. It is available for viewing by appointment at my gallery in Lancaster, PA.
