Poise: A critical perspective

The first thing that strikes me about this piece is the dazzling use of color. The careful arrangement of bold hues, from warm to cool, manifests an impressive command over color theory. The individual triangles that construct the central hexagon create a vivid and engaging visual experience. Each color transition is fluid and harmonious. A delightful merger of art and mathematics, form and color, and nature and design.

The choice of acrylic on burlap juxtaposes two very diverse elements— the natural, rustic texture of the burlap against the sleek, modern qualities of acrylic paint. This contrast enhances the piece's aesthetic appeal, providing a unique, tactile depth to an otherwise flat geometric formation, embracing minimalist aesthetic trends while preserving a sense of authenticity through the raw, earthiness of the burlap.
