I was set the task in my first Design Projects module to find an example of geometric abstract art I liked and then to deconstruct it. By deconstructing I mean recognising the simple shapes, such as rectangles or circles, that make up the composition and redrawing it with only these basic shapes. At first I was unsure there would be an example of this abstract art that I was appealed to however I was particularly drawn to an unnamed piece by Nicholas Dubreuille.
The reason I like this artwork is because whilst the artist only uses one basic shape, he has been able to successfully create a sense of depth in the photo making you see the rectangles as if they are floating above one another. I think this is down to the layering of different colours in addition to the very light shading behind the shapes. All this creates an impressive composition that really appears as if it is jumping out from the paper it is drawn upon.
