It’s Euclidean, My Dear Serena Refoua

Watercolor, Pastel 19" x 13" $660

Take enough abstract art classes and eventually you’ll hear the word “Euclidean.” Every day, we move through a landscape of Euclidean geometric shapes. What if these shapes had lives of their own in their own separate universe? Using strong color combinations and unpredictable lines, I created some tension between them. As I started, I made up rules of engagement about where they could be, how they could intersect, and who they could hang out with. Maybe they cooperated in making a whole visual conversation, or maybe they didn’t. Did they play well together or strike out on their own? Can you tell what my rules were? Some of the rules were obeyed. Some were not.
