“Red square receives the yellow, then green; colors compress themselves together and form a permanent Tröð color planes as they pick their trust to each other. Next image can not be identical. Green square now receives a yellow core and within it is still one color surface, as seen through a window or door port; rule and formalism are still disrupted. And the next picture can not have been the same, even reducing forms, square conductors are still here, but with added diagonals and diamonds that frame decorative color surfaces and all will be one of the hosts symphony vibrant color and form; as Icelandic lessons covered berries in the autumn or brúðarklæði from the East.And yet minimize forms and color surfaces until only one color in each cross and formalize disappeared, the colors dance and squirm full of happiness and a sense of freedom and citing the unrestricted expression that springs forth from the imagination.”
