Mandarin 1964

Jeremy Moon's "Mandarin" presents a serene blue canvas dissected by a diamond shape composed of colored bars. The composition immediately draws the eye to its geometric interplay. Each colored bar offers a different weight within the overall structure; yellow, gray, orange, and green against the monochromatic field creates a visual rhythm. How do these juxtapositions destabilize the traditional figure-ground relationship? Moon challenges fixed perspective, engaging with new perceptions of space. Here, the colors do not simply decorate, but actively shape our perception and invite an ongoing reinterpretation of spatial and chromatic relationships. Moon's work becomes a site for exploring how formal qualities can communicate and challenge established meanings, making Mandarin an intriguing study in color and form.
