In this painting, I present a tight, geometric interplay of four open squares that together form a larger whole. Each quadrant appears to tilt slightly and gain depth through subtle shadows and transparent layers, giving the whole an almost three-dimensional appearance. The diagonal bands of color—in shades of blue, sand, olive green, and warm brown—flow rhythmically through the shapes and curve along the edges. This creates an optical movement: the eye is constantly led from the outside in and back again, as if the squares are open to another space. The composition balances between order and illusion. The symmetry provides calm and structure, while the shifting lines and overlapping planes create tension and dynamism. The painting evokes associations with architecture, folds in paper, or open windows revealing different perspectives. All in all, the work exudes a subdued, almost meditative energy, in which color, form, and depth converge into a refined, abstract whole.
Why collect this work?
A rigid central cross organizes the square, while bent diagonal bands make its four sections appear to fold inward and outward. The work’s central achievement is this conflict between stable symmetry and uncertain depth.
- The artist profile identifies MikoArt as Miechel Kockelkoren’s digital-painting label. Here, digitally controlled repetition supports an image in which small changes of angle, overlap and tone carry the spatial argument.
- Visible bands of blue, olive, beige and brown reverse direction at the axes. Darkened edges and translucent-looking planes complicate the apparent hierarchy: openings can also read as blocks, recesses or folded surfaces.
- The catalogue records photographic paper mounted on 3 mm Alu-Dibond and covered with 2 to 3 mm resin. This construction may give the digitally generated image a rigid support and a reflective surface, although the photograph cannot establish its exact gloss or colour.
- This 2017 work provides a specific case for considering how digital geometry can become a layered physical object. Its four-part structure also permits direct comparison between symmetry as a system and illusion as its disruption.
