Landscape BB 1974

Allan D'Arcangelo created "Landscape BB" using a calculated arrangement of color and geometric form. The shapes are flat, but the overlapping planes create a sense of depth, which destabilizes our perception. D’Arcangelo's use of industrial colors, along with precise lines, and flat surfaces, reflects a broader artistic engagement with commercial and technological themes, a nod to Pop Art. We can observe semiotic systems that challenge conventional notions of landscape. The geometric elements and bold color choices are not merely decorative; they function as signs that engage with cultural codes. The careful arrangement of shapes destabilizes traditional landscape composition, thus opening up a space for ongoing interpretation and reinterpretation.
