VALUE: Shallow Space

Merrill Vargo
Last Wednesday the class made value studies with the objective of creating a limited or shallow space. Shallow space compositions concentrate on the surface of the picture plane often flattening the elements. Notice in Merrill's painting above how the tonalities change in value as the shapes overlap and cross the composition. This allows the positive and negative areas to trade roles as well thus making the space ambiguous and flattened.
