Isotron 1978

Brian Halsey made ‘Isotron’ a print with geometric forms in shades of blues, browns, and oranges, playing with perspective and depth. It feels very much of its time. The solid colors and sharp edges give it a real graphic punch. It's not about blending or brushstrokes, but clear, distinct shapes. Look at how each box is painted with perfect precision, no drips or smudges in sight! The color contrasts are so important here, right? How the dark blue makes those caramel boxes seem to float, and the oranges inside glow. It's like each shape is asserting its place with confidence. I think of Sol Lewitt, who also embraced geometric forms and seriality. Both artists invite us to think about perception and the ways simple shapes can create complex visual experiences. Art is never really fixed, it’s always in flux.
