Delta and delta Through Two Sided Paintings
It was my initial intention to create two or more oil paintings and contrast them, creating enhanced, or changing effects. But that involved creating a box or shifting image. That was impossible to create without spending large amounts of money. The edges of the piece would not have lined up with the painting in the right places.
Then I thought of doing this digitally. This worked but digital light is emmitted light, which is reflected light. The impasto would look flat too.
Instead, I created a painting that was two sided. I photographed each side and made the images change back and forth online. The circles create pause, and the triangles create movement. This way, I can not only create movement, but, I can add pause when I want. Also the shifting colors that are in the same location when the piece changes contrasts each other, making it appear more vibrant.
Furthermore
By creating and two similar paintings, and having one focal point in the same place in each painting, a person can gaze between each piece and create various feelings, movement, and changes in movement in times depending on the time you take to look between paintings.
For example, a circle creates pause, then you look at the next piece. A triangle is there instead of the circle. Now the triangle creates movement in the direction the triangle aims.
So what happens if you look at a circle for three seconds on one piece of art, and then you shift your gaze to the triangle on the other piece? You will stare at the circle at first, and then the triangle will shift your gaze to the next part of the painting. This can go on indefinitely between the two pieces, or until you decide to have an ending point.
As colors shift, feelings and movement can be ceated, too.
