A sharing of sculpture by Bill Mayer 1984

This print, by Lanny Sommese, is an invitation to see sculpture differently. It's all about line, the confident strokes forming a playful dance of geometric shapes against a deep green background. Look closely at how the lines vary in thickness, creating depth and a sense of movement. See the interplay between the solid orange structure and the shadows it casts. It's like the artist is sketching in space, capturing the essence of form with pure, unadorned lines. The colors are flat, uncomplicated, but their combination creates a bold, graphic image. The way Sommese uses color and geometry reminds me a little of Josef Albers, or even Ellsworth Kelly; artists who distilled form down to its most essential elements. It’s not just a representation of a sculpture, but a celebration of the act of seeing, and how a few lines can create a whole world.
