Bessa-L, 24, Eagle640 That’s a great picture, Christoph. As we see, it’s the limited palette with yellow bias, and repeating structure of electricity pylons growing in stature;. There’s synergy too; the unseen energy transmitted by the electricity cables and the energetic atmosphere looking possibly like the aftermath of a nuclear event. There my imagination is running away with me... 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an extra, if you stare at only the red field for twenty seconds, not letting you vision wander, you will see the most spectacular complementary after-image of emerald green when you shift your view to the gray/blue field.

The title makes me think that this is a reception desk at some brutalistically architectured office. Is it a modernist bare bones office of some fancy corporation? Turn the corner and there are open spaces with only three ingredients, glass, steel and concrete? The abstract art on the wall would suggest so. But the oppressive atmosphere lies heavy as a result of the concrete so I would go for some kind of government administration building. Either way it is not a warm reception, far from it. There isn't even a receptionist but only that cold bare manmade stone. Really good, Rog. Ah, brutal architecture would certainly be fair to conjure, something concrete. I've got my cement boots, and I warrant the water is colder the deeper I venture. It's only color, I keep repeating in my sleepwalk, only color. All right, throttle back on the theatrics. Whatever it is, we always naturally want to make sense out of it, though they're only colors of nondescript surfaces that seem to muster a voice. I hear the echo of Beckett's repetition and the chorus of accusations in Kafka. But that's just me. I tried to play the precision of the lines in space against the ambiguity of the color surfaces. It's only one shot. I was hunting for grays. I lean toward Richter's posture, not just gray but ohne farbe, which is not the same. Still, I am enthusiastically waiting for your casting ideas, even though we don't see a receptionist. I was drawn to the notion of the lines being "receptors," receiving and deceiving, simultaneously. Thanks so much for your feedback and the static it creates for my antennae. Keeps me on my toes: no mean feat standing in concrete. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our perception and, while we are happy to share general agreement among us all that red is red and so on, this isn't necessarily the case: environmental factors are important determinants of our perception. Woebetide us if we're out driving and the red lights suddenly appear green! But of course this doesn't happen (does it?) because all sorts of other factors condition us to accept that red is red in the time-honored way - unless we unfortunately happen to be afflicted with color-blindness of course.
