Geometric Abstraction Acrylic Painting by Ron Childers #1

Geometric abstraction and optical art have been present in many cultures throughout history, both as decorative motifs and as art pieces themselves. In this work Childers, faithful to these currents of modern art, proposes a piece in which the means of expression are lines and colours that interdependently create an optical illusion of a labyrinth, with depth effects. The painting does not express any feeling. It proclaims itself independent of an emotional value system. Childers advances lines and rectangular shapes that intertwine, giving the illusion of curves and virtual movement. This occurs starting from a flat plane punctuated by bright pink, red and blue colours that cause momentary unsteadiness as if the painting was alive.
The piece is signed Childers and dated 68.
