Acril, canvas

2017

The radical reduction was the main method of the classic avant-garde. In 1921 Alexander Rodchenko created three monochromic canvases - Pure red, Pure yellow and Pure blue.

Cubism reduced all forms of nature to the basic geometric primitives.Cézanne reduced spatial illusion of traditional European oil painting to the flatness of the painting.

In this work, I reduce the properties of oil canvas to the iconic form that has already become almost natural: the screen of the iPhone. I took the canvases in proportions with the iPhone screen and declared its color through the line of code written in Swift - the programming language for iOS.

“self.view.backgroundcolor = UIColor.*” The line that sets the background color for the application.
