“Irregular Bands with Colors Superimposed” is an abstract artwork created by Sol LeWitt in 1991. The piece is a quintessential example of the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement. The artwork features a series of irregular, zigzagging bands that create a dynamic, visually engaging composition.
The bands are filled with a variety of rich and vivid colors including red, blue, yellow, green, black, and gray, resulting in a layered and superimposed effect. The colors are applied in a flat, consistent manner, typical of Post-Painterly Abstraction, which emphasizes clear, unmodulated areas of color. The overall composition evokes a sense of rhythm and movement, as the eye follows the undulating pathways of the bands across the canvas. The seemingly random arrangement of colors and shapes underscores the abstraction, drawing attention to the interplay of line and color.
