Label TextAt first glance, this uncharacteristically monochromatic work by Vincent Longo may appear repetitive and rigidly geometric. Upon further examination, pulsating oscillations of radiance and shadow draw one’s eye into the image, out to the corners, and back to the center, creating movement within the geometric structure.
