KANDINSKY

The series consists of two original still lifes and four abstractions that explore how color and composition behave when two planes overlap. As we know, there can only be four right angles touching each other. Through the contact of diverging sides, they create rectangular planes. The right angle stands alone in its magnitude, changing only its direction. The acute angle is the most tense of all. The passivity of the obtuse angle, with its almost absent forward tension, gives it a light blue hue. The obtuse angle gradually loses its aggression, sharpness, and warmth, making it distantly akin to the line, which has no angles and forms the third primary schematic shape — the CIRCLE. A yellow circle, when observed, emits movement directed toward the viewer — an eccentric motion — while a blue circle possesses a concentric motion, gradually receding from the viewer. Red is characterized by movement within itself, internally restless and dynamic. Green, however, lacks any movement at all.
