Description
A tribute to Mondrian.
This was painted during the pregnancy of my god-daughter. I draw exclusively on the works of Piet Mondrian, and acknowledge him as the inspiration of this representation, and this piece is produced as a tribute to him.
As with the proponents of De Stijl movement, this painting aspires to pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour. This simplified visual composition of vertical and horizontal lines, using only black, white and primary colours, has the mere suggestion of a bulge, the limit of representationalism. I ignore the particulars of appearance, natural form and colour.
I find its expression in the abstraction of form and colour, that is to say, in the straight line and the clearly defined primary colours. There is a strong asymmetricality and the relationship between positive and negative elements in an arrangement of non-objective forms and lines.
