One small window let in the few photons that had survived the rain and clouds (the darkness of an irish morning).
When science is spectral analysis, Art must be light synthesis.
Darwinian evolution has simplified our color vision to be based on red, green, and blue cones. Blue is the color of dreams and summer sky.
Aposematic symbol art, far from being a passive disguise, such camouflage also involves specific changes in artists and instinctive behaviour (caution, warning, danger and hazard).
Our vision system uses three different sensors to selectively detect the visual spectrum, but colors do not belong to the physicist's official lexicon. The three pigments; the three ages of life. Past, present, future. You must be an artist if you decide the colors before you decide what to paint with them. Past, present, future of color representation is neither warm or cool colored.
Past, present and future could not be more contemporary, and at the same time they are already great works of art history.
But far from being a passive disguise, such camouflage also involves specific changes in prey and predator behaviour. Gustave Bifrons' works bring to life subjects drawn from the natural world and everyday life. Perched against the odds, it seems to remind us all to persist through life’s challenges.
