Color Body Mandala Series The Color series begins with a studio photograph of the human body, then is transformed through a meticulous symmetry process—mirroring and rotating the figure into a mandala-like structure rooted in sacred geometry. The result is a balanced, radiating composition where the body becomes both subject and architecture. What defines this series is its chromatic framework: a study of color built from a 12-color palette I developed using Fibonacci-based proportional relationships. This system brings mathematical harmony to hue, contrast, and rhythm—so color is not decoration, but the organizing force that reveals a hidden order beneath the surface.
Why collect this work?
Repeated torsos and bent legs form a dense radial body around an open centre, converting a human figure into a pattern that appears ordered at its perimeter and compressed at its core.
- Bianchi describes his Body Mandalas as studies of unity, vulnerability and transformation. In this work, regular symmetry supports the stated pursuit of order, while bodily overlap complicates any uncomplicated sense of harmony.
- Visible against a flat blue field, duplicated figures curl in one direction, with feet marking the outer edge like irregular spokes. The small blue aperture interrupts the dark mass and makes absence part of the structure.
- The catalogue identifies a 2025 archival pigment print on metallic paper. It also reports that a studio photograph was mirrored and rotated, operations that suppress individual identity while preserving recognisable limbs, posture and highlights.
- At 30.48 centimetres square, SLA16-C120 condenses the body into a compact visual system. It is a pointed case study in how photographic repetition can shift a person from singular subject toward ornament, mechanism or collective form.
