Linda Lovinger-Siegel, Squaretangle #3, Painting, Oil on Canvas, 24 x 24”, 2006
 
     
 

“Squaretangle # 3,” from the Squaretangle Series is my tribute to Josef Albers, who used the square to demonstrate color theory.

By juxtaposing colors, one square inside another, Albers showed color relationships—how the same color seemed to change depending upon what color surrounded it. This series focuses on color, composition, texture and form.

I used various color combinations that resonate with each other and combined them with a contrasting color that adds an element of surprise and a note of whimsy. Underlying the oils, a layer of acrylic resin squares and lines gives added texture to the surface of the canvas.
