The Wave Series

The Wave Series is a truly radical color theory experiment: a collection of sixteen pastel wavescapes, each a variation on the Newberry color theory. The concept centers on four elements that, together, enhance form, light, and spatial depth in visual art.

To grasp the color theory, it helps to understand complementary colors, which are illustrated by the classic artist’s color wheel. This wheel arranges complementary opposites like red and green, orange and blue, and yellow and purple opposite each other. For example, yellow at one end has purple directly opposite. Now, we will take the complementary colors into the third dimension.

The four elements are:

1. Spatial depth. The furthest depth will have a colored tint, let’s say purple. The foreground, at the opposite end, will have purple’s complement, yellow, as a tint.

2. Light and shadow. This also works with complementary opposites: the light in the painting might have an orange glow, and the shadow a blue tint.

3. Atmosphere. The painting might have a rosy pink atmosphere that tints the entire image.

4. The colors of things in themselves, like a red jacket.

These elements can be arranged in endless variations. Far from being just an exercise, they powerfully enhance: the depth and foreground of a painting; light and shadow; mood/atmosphere; and give a shot of adrenaline to the colors of things.

This is the most advanced color theory, or the most advanced integration of color theory, since the French Impressionists studied and showed us the nature of daylight.

The benefit of understanding and experiencing this color theory elevates our visual perception to the next level, enabling us to better understand everything within the field of our vision.

This series is exclusively meant for the right collector who understands the significance of this project in art history and human evolution.
