London, United Kingdom
Constantly researching the vast realm of color theory, Felipe Pantone creates a multi-color installation in a public walkway in Greenwich Peninsula, London.
“The idea of creating a system in which I can create endless color combinations within the visible color spectrum by simply rotating or displacing the same image over and over (in C, M, Y)… the results are always random, unexpected, yet always interesting for me,” claims the artist.
The project is named “Quick Tide” and wraps the upper and lower levels of an elevated walkway in London’s Greenwich Peninsula with a vibrant collision of light and pigment.
Angled blocks hold radial gradients to “make obvious where the different colors overlap and how different hues appear.
These details are usually easy to find as chromatic aberrations in prints by looking under the magnifier,” the artist shares, noting that the combinations shift in appearance depending on the time of day and position of the viewer.
The artist depicts the stylistic collision between an analog past and a digitized future, with a dynamically colorful installation that swathes the elevated facades of The Tide in color, the neighborhood’s riverside destination for recreation, culture, and wellness.
Quick Tide incorporates a mixture of vinyl to transform the angular shapes of the Tide.
