Description
Michael Challenger’s art combines elements of op-art and constructivism to create powerful and playful graphic works. His work is reminiscent of artists such as Albers and Escher, but he puts his own spin on it, making it stronger and more approachable for a wider audience.
Challenger’s focus is on creating believable but improbable geometric landscapes without relying on representational language. He uses simple units and hard-edged, flat colors, creating a sense of detachment, yet his paintings always defy a single interpretation despite their clear-cut geometric shapes.
His art often plays with the interplay of shapes, forms, and colors, creating an illusionist scenery that is colorful, fascinating and thought-provoking. Overall, Challenger’s work is a testament to his skill as an artist and his ability to push boundaries while maintaining accessibility.
