IMPOSSELLATION - 2005

View detail >

 
 

Acrylic paint on 300gsm Bockingford paper, image size 74.5 x 44 cm, available framed in plain painted silver frame (overall size 104 x 81 cm) - limited edition giclée prints also available in sizes A1, A2 and A3. 

What do you see? Is this what the 'real' world looks like outside our minds - an interlocking tessellation of impossible objects? The design is based upon a non-periodic tessellation of rhomboids coloured according to the three-colour theorum - can you find the one small error?

The basic pattern was designed on a computer, printed and copied onto tracing paper, traced onto thick watercolour paper and then painted with Liquitex artist-quality acrylics using square-tipped brushes.
