Geometric Abstraction Acrylic Painting by Ron Childers #2

Abstract geometry proposes shapes, lines, angles and a space in which the artist will position the figures, assembling them to obtain a visual effect. In this work, which we can consider as belonging to Optical art, Childers explores optical sensations via a central figure, a diamond-shaped square that absorbs all the other elements distributed around it, exerting a centripetal force. Our gaze is immediately drawn to the centre of the work through the combination of bright colours and lines, then loses itself in the rest of the composition, plunging into a sensation of vertigo, but eyes are always brought back to the centre which acts as a magnet. Our observance then become the engine of the work, Witnessing of an impression of movement, brightness of light and vibrations.
The piece is signed and dated 68.
