Purchase Award Winner
We are very pleased to announce that USA based artist, Marjorie Hellman is the Purchase Award Winner for the 2nd Annual Color Sense Competition. We will be acquiring her acrylic on aluminum piece titled, Piccolo.
Key to the artist’s vision, is the way color juxtapositions provide the illusion that shapes and forms appear transparent or translucent, creating a sense of structure, depth, space and light. Her process involves observations from both the natural and manmade worlds which she combines to arrive at abstract drawings of intersecting lines which then give rise to her complex color studies.

Purchase Award Winner
Piccolo by Marjorie Hellman– Purchase Award and CollexArt Collection.
Piccolo's juxtaposition of color and layer transparency creates a new dimension in which the interaction of colors guides the viewer. The irregular shape of the painting and the way it floats on the wall adds a sculptural element where multiple light sources form shadows of different values that look like a continuation of the artwork.
