All the world can be boiled down to the simplest shapes and forms.  Our eyes tend to focus on details, yet when we really look, we can see the world as a system of circles, triangles, and rectangles.  Brooklyn artist Don Voisine focuses on the relationship of shape, the forms that exist and the various ways our eyes will perceive them.

Using a limited palette and flat color, Voisine’s shapes seem to shift, moving forward and back within each panel’s picture plane.  You can never be quite sure which shapes are in the foreground and which in the background, so that even with the relative simplicity of form, there are complex perspectives happening.  And with their tightly cropped composition, we’re left wondering what happens to each line and color once it leaves the confines of the panel.
