Compass (Homage to Wassily Kandinsky)

oil, metal, sand, brick, feathers on canvas - 62 x 62 cm


This painting is a homage to Wassily Kandinsky's geometrical analysis, which influenced the way that points, lines and levels are applied on a canvas and the meaning they have. Moreover, it was an innovative analysis for the general art movement of its time.

According to Kandinsky, each part of a canvas is not the same, in terms of the tension it has. The right low corner, has the biggest tension, where the objects are ''trapped''. On the other hand, the left upper corner is the calmest one, where open space and freedom are vivid. Kandinsky resembled the four sides of a canvas, with thre sky (north), the road/freedom (west), the ground (south) and home (east).
