"Optimum 1"

This piece, titled "Optimum 1", has appeared recently in the window of a flooring company that regularly gives their window over  to various artists for a few months at a time.  The artist Vladimir Radoykov  sees the piece as playing with volume versus surface area relative to the viewer going by on the street. It certainly is striking with all its colours!

    Now that would certainly grab the eye as one was walking by! Such a great idea, turning their window space over, I'll bet it pays in spades.

    A colourful window like this certainly attracts all the attention of the people in the street! ;-)

    Clever people at the flooring company. This will make most people stop for a look. Very colorful it is.

    I like it because of all the colors but also because it hints at relationships between the objects and the background which is, of course, a secret!

    Re your comment on Ocala: I do believe they sell Godiva chocolate. Would that tempt you at all?

    Wow! This installation is outstanding! I am -- as a commenter recently said on my blog -- gobsmacked. (I have been looking for an excuse to say gobsmacked.)

    It would certainly catch your eye as you walked along the street, very unusual looking and colourful!

    I'm always fond or rainbow colours. They make me feel happy.

    Love the colors and shapes. And its wonderful of that flooring company to provide a (literal) window for artists to display their pieces. (I'd buy a floor from them if I were there ;>)!)
