Complexity can be made out of simplicity, just a lot of it. Think of fractals for example. A very simple mathematical formula can give range to very complex shapes if repeated millions of times. And the fascination of the complexity is that it has perfect structure and order. <br /><br />But structure doesn't have to be orderly. Sometimes some element of disorder creates tension or contrast, and it is the gift of a good artist to know just how to create that dissonance that makes thing interesting, beautiful even.Andy Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01942445460732496214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-68641709045417662892018-09-14T15:25:24.479+00:002018-09-14T15:25:24.479+00:00I like this one.

He frequently painted just a couple of large squares with few colors. Russhttp://www.flickr.com/photos/karmagroovynoreply@blogger.com
