This is an original geometric hardedge abstract painting, acrylic on canvas, entitled “Lightfall into Blue Asterism”. It measures 12″ X 12″ and is part of my “Asterism Series” of works. The term “asterism” refers to the “X” that appears to the eye — but does not exist in the painting — and occurs when contiguous colors interact from light to dark or dark to light. I am influenced by the Op Artists of the 1960s and 1970s — especially Julian Stanczak and Richard Anuszkiewicz. I have finished all four sides, so no frame is needed. This painting was accepted in the 2022 International Juried Exhibition at The Center for Contemporary Art, Bedminster, NJ, January 14, 2022 – February 26, 2022, and was part of the juried exhibition ViewPoint 54 at the Eisele Gallery of the Cincinnati Art Club, Sept. 2022. It was also accepted into the juried show GEMS V: Exquisite, Intricate, Intimate Small Works of Art, Arts Benicia Gallery, Benicia, CA, November-December 2022.
Why does that “X” appear in my Asterism paintings? This visual deception is an example of simultaneous contrast. Simultaneous contrast, or the contrast effect, is a visual phenomenon where the perception of one color is affected by the presence of surrounding colors. Specifically, the brightness, saturation, and even the hue of a color can be altered by the colors surrounding it.
There are two types of simultaneous contrast: successive contrast and simultaneous contrast. Successive contrast occurs when the perception of a color is affected by the colors that came before it. Simultaneous contrast occurs when the perception of a color is affected by its surrounding colors. The simultaneous contrast effect is powerful when the adjacent colors are complementary, meaning they are opposite on the color wheel. For example, red and green are complementary colors, as are blue and orange, and yellow and purple. When complementary colors are placed next to each other, they can create a strong contrast effect, with each color appearing more vibrant and intense.
