Artist: John F. Simon
Abstraction
The following piece asks the question, "What does color weigh?" With this idea in mind, the artist creates a piece that acts as a virtual scale. The viewer is also the maker in a sense, because they drag bars of colors on the scales to create different levels or weights of colors. I find this idea to be particularly interesting as a student of graphic art because working with color on the computer is slightly different from working with color in traditional art elements. Colors are measured or classified in hex codes rather then mushing paint together on a palette.
