Angela Johal – Chromesthetic Geometrics

October 30, 2020

Thanks to an initiative by faculty Jesse Kahn, internationally recognized artist Angela Johal created a video about her conceptual and material use of color.

In my painting, I aim to create a visual grammar that all people and languages can understand. Paintings should resonate with a quick intuitive understanding and bring joy to the viewer, and this can happen when both the physical and spiritual worlds are given a more equal emphasis.

I paint with striped diagonal or circular bands of color which forces illusionistic space out of my painting. I want the flatness of the painting, color and geometric shapes to be the subject rather than to create false illusions of things like representational art does when it draws from nature or fabricated worlds.
