C 200 1965

'C 200' by Tadasky is a symphony of color, a set of concentric circles of vivid hues pulsating on the canvas. I imagine the artist, armed with a steady hand and infinite patience, layering these colors one ring at a time. Each ring seems to vibrate with its own unique energy, drawing you into the center. The yellow feels like sunshine, the red like a beating heart, the blue like a breath of fresh air. You know, it must be so hard to make something appear so mechanically precise, so clean. I wonder if the artist was influenced by the hard-edge paintings of the 60's. These artists were all in conversation with one another whether they knew it or not, working through similar problems. As a painter, I'm always fascinated by how artists use color and form to create these sensations. This piece reminds us that painting is a conversation, a kind of embodied expression. It’s a dialogue across time, between artists, between the artwork and the viewer, inviting us to see the world in new and unexpected ways.
