Description of Art: Alumination 5 is part of Dominic Pangborn’s innovative Alumination series, where the artist combines fine art with industrial materials to create striking contemporary works. This piece is crafted on brushed aluminum, a surface that reflects and refracts light, causing the image to shift dynamically as the viewer changes position.
The composition is abstract and fluid, defined by bold sweeps of color and layered textures. Metallic sheen enhances the vibrancy of Pangborn’s palette, giving the work a luminous, almost kinetic quality. Depending on the light source, areas of the painting appear to glow or recede, emphasizing movement and depth within an otherwise flat plane.
With Alumination 5, Pangborn pushes beyond traditional painting into the realm of experiential art. The work is less a static image than an ever-changing encounter, inviting viewers to see it anew with every glance, echoing his philosophy of constant evolution and transformation.
