New Work: Dissonant Harmony in Pink and Cyan

Detail of Dissonant Harmony in Pink and Cyan, Artist: Andrew Binder, 2023

The figure dissolves, or perhaps takes shape, in a distorted cacophony of pink, brown and light magenta hues, against a cyan void. Created with a combination of painted acrylic layers and coffee drips on paper, which were scanned and combined with many digital painted layers at low opacities, slowly building up the form. Multiple variations of "expressive" layers of abstracted elements were interlaced with the figure, some building off of, and distorting the original acrylic layers. These variations were combined, added, and subtracted, eventually creating a final composition.
