SDED-XXII (3/7/2020)
Acrylic on two overlapping canvases over plywood
36 x 24 x 1 5/8 in (91 x 61 x 4 cm)
It's been over six months since this art idea sprang, and today the baby is mature enough to face public and peer criticism! Like the others in the series, the painting continues to push the limit of the artistic philosophy of Agostino Bonalumi and Lucio Fontana. The painting's yellow ribbon connects the upper and the lower planes to briefly become three dimensional. In the center, the circular opening (a believable fake 3D element) plays a similar 2D–3D game with support from the narrow red band. Since many new paintings are mostly ready, I plan to post weekly additional new and creative ways where layers build 3D spaces smoothing the transition between the two and three dimensions.
