Kubikus 22

by Georg-Kurt Müller

An image from my ‘Kubikus’ series featuring cubes and polyhedra with corners and edges, reflected in a mystical, intensely coloured interplay of light and shadow.
These can be used in various contexts.
The polyhedra with corners and edges featured in the image become abstract virtual objects, redefining perspective. It is fascinating that colours and shapes can trigger visual perception and are interpreted differently by every viewer, whatever the context. For me, this image represents the diversity, richness of form and vibrancy of a moment of thought.
A moment of thought that depicts a fleeting instant in which one concentrates on a thought or an idea. It is a moment in which one shuts out one’s surroundings and focuses on the thought. A moment of thought characterised by creativity and inspiration.
Against a deep blue background, a compact, geometric core of colour unfolds, comprising red, yellow, white, black and orange. Diagonally set lines, overlapping rectangles and impasto-like areas form a dense, star-shaped centre from which rays and splashes of colour radiate outwards. The surface has an impasto-like quality, with light, washed-out areas at the edges and dark vertical lines in the background.
