It's been a while since I posted a picture of any of my paintings... Ideas do not stop coming but choosing one to produce becomes a serious project that it's worth taking time to match it with the one in your head...
SDED-XX, like the others in the SDED [=2D3D] series, continues to push the limit of the artistic philosophy of two amazing Italian artists: Agostino Bonalumi and Lucio Fontana. The middle ribbon “magically” becomes 3D playfully switching colors and quietly going back to a 2D state. The other fake 3D suggestions are serving the role of making the twisted middle layer be easily accepted. Although, 3–2=1 as the arithmetic would suggest, the gap between two and three dimensions is not one dimension, is 2D [where 2D+2D+... =3D] and layers become the perfect solution! Therefore, in the months to come, I will continue to enjoy showing new and creative ways where the canvas layers build a three dimensional space without eliminating or destroying their classical flat quality.
