About the Artist
My work has been described as abstraction. To elaborate on that, the term geometric optical illusion abstraction is a better description and my color selection is an important part of the compositional impact, because of the incremental, harmonic gradations or hues, which intensifies the optical illusion of the three-dimensional effect.
Further, shapes within, are systematically planned to fool the eye, leading into complex patterns of shapes that accentuate the entire concept to the eye and mind.

Stanford Slutsky's wood construction artwork, Harmony (left) and Lemon Lime (right)
were selected for inclusion in the Boca Raton Museum of Art 54TH ANNUAL ALL
FLORIDA JURIED COMPETITION AND EXHIBITION. Out of more than 1100 submissions by nearly 400 artists,
he was one of less than 100 artists chosen to represent the best in Florida!
Lemon Lime, Wood Construction (right), was exhibited in 2006 at Art in Public Places at the West Palm Beach Airport,
the Rosem Museum Gallery, and Hortt 45 The Best Of South Florida.

Being too appreciative of other geometric abstract artist's, I hope to address the obvious similarities with my
master-fully-brushed acrylic-on-Canvas paintings. The comparison is simple: Some of us use cubes, circles,
parallelograms, hexagons, and the limited range of easily- recognizable shapes that have been around since classical
Greek and Egyptian antiquity.

BI-ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION from June 28th to August 27, 2006.
I did not invent all of the geometric shapes, but I employ the subtle juxtapositioning
of ordered, related forms, done in carefully-selected hues and tints, which communicate to the mind's eye, that
intriguing optical illusion, which gives the viewer a distinct image, at once, and then, a second later, a directly
opposite conception. The multiple possibilities will actually jump back and forth.
