Trichotomy is an geometric artwork that is truly one of a kind. At first glance, it appears to be a simple composition of complementary colours, red and cyan, magenta and green, arranged in a diamond pattern that almost seems to pop off the canvas. However, when viewed through a prism at the correct focal point, this piece of art transforms into something truly magical.
If you look very carefully, you will also notice a gradient from red to magenta, while the cyan turns to green.
As the light passes through the prism and refracts, the colours of Trichotomy shift and dance, creating a mesmerizing display that is unexpected. The red and magenta hues, become blue, while the cyan and green refract into a yellow as shown below.
This shift in colour is not simply a random occurrence, but rather the result of the way in which the light interacts with the geometric form of the piece. The prism, with its precise focal point, acts as a lens, focusing the light in a way that allows the viewer to experience the artwork in a completely new way.
Trichotomy is a true testament to the power of art to surprise and delight us. Its transformation through the prism highlights the interconnection of colour and light, and the way in which our perceptions of the world around us can be shaped and altered by the most unexpected of influences. It is a piece that will continue to captivate and inspire those who view it, and a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the artist who brought it to life.
