Neo-Pointillism

“Developed by Georges Seurat in the late 1800s, Pointillism was a new technique inspired by the Impressionists. His the aim was to create images with a greater degree of luminosity and brilliance of color. The technique uses the ability of the mind to merge small, distinct dots of color into a unity of refined tones. Because human engagement co-creates the final effect, the image and the beholder are uniquely bonded.

These “Neo”-Pointillist paintings are created from many thousands of three-dimensional micro-dots of oil paint applied to aluminum panels thus creating an ethereal image that floats off the panel, shifting as the light and view change. Aluminum’s reflectivity further enhances the effect.
