JENS MALMGREN I create.

Magic Rings

The round forms as basis for illusionistic paintings started with the spiral and then I tried the sinus curve. What’s next? Rings. What illusions can you do with rings? A magician can do magnificent art with rings but what could I do?

I set off to find out and soon I got into complex constructions that even I have problems to decipher. On this painting my theme of color spectrum was lost. Instead I tried my best to get some interesting color combination's. I am not convinced by the result. Is this an illusion, yes it is!
