This is an original acrylic on panel painting entitled “May 4 2021.” It measures 12″ X 12″ and is part of my “Asterism Series” of works. The term “asterism” 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. I am influenced by the Op Artists of the 1960s and 1970s — especially Julian Stanczak and Richard Anuszkiewicz. I have finished all four sides, so no frame is needed.
