Primary Explosion copyright 2010 by Dave Putnam

Here I am showing primary colors emerging from their home: a mixture of white light. Once they emerge the primary colors form secondary colors. This is how light behaves in the real world. However mixing all colors together in the world of paint and canvas produces brown. And in the real world black is created by the absence of light; the opposite is true in the world of paint and canvas. I am exposing the artificial aspects of the art world on a structural level, hopefully gleaning some perspective in the process.
