In these paintings, I superimposed the geometric shapes of the Platonic Solids over a landscape or cityscape. The Platonic Solids are three dimensional shapes with identical faces, regular polygons and the same number of faces meeting at each vertex (only five shapes meet this criteria). Named after Plato, who hypothesized that the classical elements are made of these regular Solids. By careful placement of the Solids and the painting of their faces in different colors, I both create and fracture the physical characteristics of the of the original underlying image.
