The rectangular prisms have common angles but are orientated differently, so they appear to be static without gravity against a background that is passing by in both directions at extreme velocity. 4 coats of fluorescent yellow help exaggerate the contrast of foreground/background even further.

Artwork Description
Artist Bio
Winner of the inaugural founders award for large statement artworks in the 2021 Bluethumb Art Prize.
Brad Holland is an artist living on Kaurna land, close to the cultural artistic hub of Port Adelaide, South Australia, whose paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions nationally.
Through his works, he delves into his past and formative experiences to develop a personal visual language, absorbing cues from his exploration of 1970βs and 1980βs computer graphics, sci-fi visual effects, optical illusions, pop culture, internal visions and twenty years experience as a Visual Merchandiser for leading department stores.
Originally a skilled figurative painter, Holland now utilises masking tape and hard edge techniques as a direct response to overcome the shaking in his hands due to a degenerative condition known as essential tremor.
He has now distilled his technique within the formal structure of hard edge painting methodology. From pulsating rectangles and transparent planes, to concentric shapes and graphic patterns, immersive transitions of tone and colour remain the hallmark of Hollandβs practice.
