Superimposed Structures 1967

Constantin Flondor's work, Superimposed Structures, presents an array of geometric shapes that creates a complex interplay of forms and lines. The composition is dominated by overlapping rectangles, circles, and grid-like structures, rendered in muted tones of black, grey, white, and subtle hints of pink. The texture appears flat, emphasizing the two-dimensionality of the work. The artwork invites us to explore the relationship between these abstract elements. Flondor seems to challenge our perception by creating a sense of depth through layering and transparency, even though the forms remain distinctly separate. This arrangement can be interpreted through the lens of structuralism, where each shape functions as a sign, contributing to a larger system of meaning. The geometric forms and their arrangement might reflect the artist’s exploration of modern urban environments or the underlying structures of thought and language. The piece encourages viewers to engage with the dynamic interplay of geometric forms, and to consider how such visual systems operate within broader cultural and intellectual contexts. The absence of clear spatial orientation destabilizes any fixed reading, highlighting the fluidity of meaning and interpretation.
