“AAAAA113 Mirage Work,” created by Larry Bell in 2007, is an abstract artwork aligned with the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement. This formal artwork exemplifies the abstract genre through its unique visual composition.
The artwork presents a sophisticated interplay of geometric shapes and iridescent hues. It features a central, dark rectangular form layered with additional shapes that seem to create a three-dimensional effect. The edges are lined with refracted colors, creating a vivid halo-like spectrum of light around the forms. This visual effect generates an illusion of depth and spatial ambiguity, characteristic of Bell’s exploration of light and transparency. The overall composition exudes a sense of modernist clarity while simultaneously inviting the viewer into a contemplative visual experience, rooted in the abstraction of form and color.
