Colouring Ball: June 25 - July 4 - Abstraction

[Ilyich]

Pushing the previous contest idea even further into the abyss, this Colouring Ball’s theme is Abstraction.



Let’s try and focus on the colours, not shapes. It doesn’t have to represent any objects or creatures, it just has to look good/bad/interesting/dull/etc. â€" it’s up to you. It may be a pattern, a texture, an abstract composition, a microchip or a rectangle with eyes - sort of ‘no rules’ deal.

  Yet here they are, in small print:
- The outline may be rotated and scaled
- The outline may not be altered, but may be recoloured
- Keep all of the content either inside or outside of the shape, but not both.
- No colour limitations, although smaller palettes are preferable.
- Have fun, every entry is welcome!  And you can submit a few!
Trophies will be supplied at the end.

I know I made another one without colors... but here's my favorite illusion. It's only two frames with the colors swapped, yet it looks like it's turning - and, additionally, it always moves into the direction you want it to move:

1x, with black frame


3x

PS. I felt an urge to participate, but if I win (which I doubt will happen, but anyway...) I won't be able to host the next Colouring Ball. So think of my entry as a "filler".

There's an obvious form in there, but it came out quite unexpectedly: I was just playing around with the two colours.

[NsMn]

Stefano, your entry is quite dubious...

[Ilyich]

Jim Reed, cool op-art, exactly what i was looking for here.
NsMn, "We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!". Hypnotising stuff.
Stefano, beautiful colours and patterns, great job!
straydogstrut, neat picture, like the soft contrast.

So far so good, keep them coming!

Stefano, your entry is quite dubious...

...avatar vagina?

[Intense Degree]

Someone had to do it!

[Monsieur OUXX]

Fine art in less than 50x50 pixels!!!

[Ilyich]

[Saberteeth]

Stare at it long enough to get eye-strain!

(not an entry)

[Ilyich]

Okay, that's it!
You all get solid chocolate bars, some even with shiny wrappers!

1st place - Jim Reed
2nd place - Stefano
3rd place - Intense Degree

And since all entries are very good, everyone else gets a consolation prize, well done, people!          

Thanks for participating! Take it away, Jim!

[Stupot]

Ooh, chocolate, thanks :-)

@IntenseDegree - I don't get it :-(

[Wonkyth]

It's abstract art, Piet style.

[Jim Reed]

I won?

YAY!

Will make another shortly. Congrats to all participants and be sure to enter the next one!

[Intense Degree]

It's abstract art, Piet style.

Yep, and that is the art I am best at, i.e. which is

1. Simple
2. Stolen based heavily on someone else's idea!
