In this painting, I present a tight, graphic interplay between order and tension. In the background lies a black-and-white checkerboard pattern that suggests depth and perspective, as if the surface is slightly curved. At the center floats a shimmering, gold-colored shape resembling an elongated star or an elastic membrane, held in place by four thin, blue-gray lines that point toward the corners of the image. Around this center, sharp, dark shapes cut through the image, as if the chessboard is being opened up or enclosed. These contrasting elements reinforce the sense of strength, stretch, and tension. The whole balances between abstract geometry and an almost futuristic, three-dimensional illusion, where stability and deformation are in constant dialogue.
Why collect this work?
A taut gold form interrupts a warped checkerboard, turning geometric order into a visual test of pressure, depth and containment.
- MikoArt is identified in the catalogue as Miechel Kockelkoren’s label for digital painting. Here, digitally constructed geometry supports an illusion of elastic matter rather than functioning as pattern alone.
- Four blue-gray diagonals appear to pull the central form toward the corners. Irregular black and pale shards encircle the grid, making the square image seem punctured, peeled back or compressed.
- The documented image is printed on Fuji Crystal DP II photo paper, mounted to 3 mm Alu-Dibond and covered with 2 to 3 mm resin. That layered construction may intensify the depicted highlights and screen-like depth, though the photograph cannot establish the surface’s exact reflectivity.
- This work merits attention for how it sets two spatial systems against each other: the checkerboard recedes and curves, while the gold center seems stretched forward under tension.
