After Albers (Jessica in violet and ocre)
2020
A luminous portrait rendered in rich violet and ochre tones pays homage to Josef Albers' explorations of color interaction, with Dominic Chambers applying his signature lush, painterly style to a figure bathed in warm, resonant hues. The composition balances the formal structure of Albers' color theory with an intimate human presence, as the subject Jessica emerges through layered, vibrating fields of complementary color. Chambers' work invites reflection on how color shapes perception and identity, grounding an abstract visual language in deeply personal representation.
