Transchromie 2007

This ‘Transchromie’ is by Carlos Cruz-Diez, and it involves strips of colored material. You know, the beauty of art is sometimes less about the what and more about the how. Look at how the colors interact. It’s not just about seeing individual colors, it’s about the relationships between them. The texture is smooth, but the experience? Far from it. Cruz-Diez lets the light do its thing, bending and shaping our perception. Notice where the colors overlap. It’s like a dance, colors meeting and parting ways. The artist isn't just placing colours side by side but orchestrating a play of light and shadow. I'm reminded of Josef Albers and his 'Homage to the Square' series, where colour is the main event. Both artists encourage us to really see – not just look. Art isn't about answers; it’s about opening up new ways of seeing and thinking.
