Anikó Robitz
Coloured Surfaces
Photographs of the Colour Surfaces series is characterized by geometric forms and bright colours. At first glance they look like hard-edge paintings but they have been taken in real locations and their sources are modern and contemporary architecture.
The works of this series are made of plexiglass. The choice of this material is deliberate, a reference to high city buildings and skyscrapers. Plexiglass can add layers and the feeling of spatial object to these photographs.
Robitz is concerned about sense of space and the proportions between the chosen detail and the original and also the relation between them. However, as a three-dimensional object cannot be condensed into a single two-dimensional image, she can achieve by influencing our perception with highlighting elements, changing proportions and the viewing point that the details on the photo make us feel as if they are spatial.
When the details are selected only the most necessary elements will be put into the picture which create the composition. The forms, colours and textures get far from the original and create a completely new meaning and become fragments of a possible world.
