In this perfect-bound publication, Italy-born, Toronto-based visual artist Flavio Trevisan continues to develop his interest in regularity, standardization, and repetition. Digitally-printed (of course) in full-color, CMYK reads as a flip book as its titular inks set out as halftone dots from their edges (designated by the arrow signs) to gradually converge and overlap at the center of the spread.
“The CMYK color process has been used for over one hundred years to print color images using four different colored inks: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. Printing these colors in overlapping patterns of varying sized dots results in a large range of possible colors. In this image, four colored blocks are seen converging on each other, making this mixing explicit. The title of this work reveals this technical code, each colored block is related to an arrow, or the direction that it is moving to make this mix.” — Kayrock
