Urban Labyrinth-II

Art has always been a medium for expression, a bridge between the artist’s imagination and the viewer’s interpretation. Abstract geometric art, in particular, pushes the boundaries of form and perception, challenging us to see beyond the ordinary. In the above artwork sharp angles, fragmented shapes, and a bold colour palette come together to create a visually striking piece.


At first glance, the painting appears chaotic, but a closer look reveals a structured rhythm in its elements. It is a dance of lines and angles, forming an intricate web of intersecting planes. The black frame surrounding the piece enhances its depth, making the composition feel contained yet dynamic.


The Language of Shapes

The geometric nature of the artwork suggests deconstruction—a deliberate breaking down of forms to reconstruct them in an abstract manner. The overlapping triangular and rectangular forms create a sense of motion, as if the image is in constant transformation.


The Colour Palette

The painting features a balanced blend of soft beige, cool blues, deep blacks, and vibrant pops of pink and orange. The contrast between light and dark sections adds depth and dimensionality, giving the artwork a layered effect. The use of neutral tones with sporadic bursts of colour creates both harmony and tension, drawing the viewer’s attention to different sections of the piece. This piece employs modern minimalism, using clean lines and well-defined colour blocks to convey its abstract vision.


Interpretation: What Does It Represent?

Abstract art is open to interpretation, and this piece invites multiple readings:

  • A Fragmented Face – Upon close examination, certain shapes resemble facial features, hinting at a distorted portrait hidden within the abstraction.


  • An Urban Landscape – The structured lines and sharp angles could depict a city skyline, viewed through a fragmented lens.


  • The Complexity of Thought – The intricate interlocking shapes might symbolize the multi-faceted nature of human emotions and perceptions.
