SupremePunk #138
Whispers of Iridescent Shadows
This SupremePunk is inspired by CryptoPunk #5666 and the work of Giacomo Balla. "Irridescent Interpenetration No.7," created around 1912, is a work that depicts the work's compositional theme, reflecting light and shadows, and color transitions of colors. All of this is shown in the form of triangles through which a ray of light seems to have passed.

The diffuse light and the transmission of the color spectrum emerged in Giacomo Balla's work after a trip to Germany, when he was struck by the colorism of the Alpine landscape: "The lakes, with the huge mountains reflected in the water with iridescent colors, produce such effects that it is better to consider them unpaintable...". In addition, he was impressed by the stained glass windows and the Gothic charm of the Cologne Cathedral. The totality of these impressions is reflected in this work.

If we consider the coloristics of SupremePunk, the colors chosen by the author - blue, green, white, black - are also found in other works due to their compatibility. For example, the British abstractionist artist Terry Frost. His work "Green, Black and White Movement" is inspired by ships moored in St. Ives harbor. Despite the abstractness of the image, the viewer can still identify the author's original object of interest by the shape and position of the elements. The artist himself shared the vision of his own work: 'I was not portraying subject matter but concentrating on the emotion engendered by what I saw. Indeed, the title of the painting conveys the detachment of the final work from its source of inspiration.

The monotony of colors used by the Punk author is reminiscent of the unambiguous technique of some illustrators, such as the illustrator Malika Favre. By combining op-art with pop-art, she achieves a minimalist effect in a bright shell. Her work has appeared as covers for issues of such publications as Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The New Yorker.

It is worth noting that triangles in the fine arts are notable not only as a visual element, but also as a means of achieving compositional harmony. For example, in the work of Friedrich Overbeck "Italia und Germania", which depicts the unity of the two states, which are embodied by sitting and communicating girls. The triangular composition is achieved by the juxtaposition of the heads of the girls creating the highest apex of the figure, which extends along the hem of the heroines' dresses, forming the lower edge.
