Entitled “Contrapulse Asterism,” (painted April 18, 2020) is an original hardedge abstract acrylic on panel painting. It is part of my “Asterism Series” of contemporary op art 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. It measures 24” x 24” and is painted on a 2” deep cradle frame. This piece is finished on all sides, so no frame is required.
I am influenced by the Op Artists of the 1960s and 1970s — especially Julian Stanczak, Josef Albers, and Richard Anuszkiewicz. I have finished all four sides, so no frame is needed. This piece was exhibited at 59th Annual Community Art Exhibition, Lancaster Museum of Art, Lancaster, PA, August 2021.
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.
Why does that “X” appear in my Asterism paintings? This visual deception is an example of simultaneous contrast.
