A Chromatic Installation by Felipe Pantone Turns a Public Walkway into an Architectural Kaleidoscope

Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone (previously) magnifies the prismatic principles that ground his Subtractive Variability series to a phenomenal scale in the newly installed "Quick Tide." Whether working in kinetic sculpture or large-scale murals, Pantone investigates the vast realm of color theory and its bottomless potential, in this instance transforming the cyan, magenta, and yellow model into a dynamic display. "The idea of creating a system in which I can create endless color combinations within the visible color spectrum by simply rotating or displacing the…

A Kinetic Wall Sculpture by Felipe Pantone Spins in a Hypnotic Reel of Endless Color

 Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone (previously) boasts an incredible archive of sculptures and murals that are founded on the principles of color theory. His works range from large-scale glitches and bold pixelations to tabletop prisms that shift with human touch. His most recent project, “Subtractive Variability Compact,” falls in the latter category as it visualizes the full range of the CMY spectrum through stacked, spinning wheels. The kaleidoscopic kinetic sculpture layers small acrylic rounds coated in gradients of UV paint in within a wall-mounted frame. As the individual modules in cyan, magenta, and yellow rotate, light is subtracted in various…

In cyan, magenta, and yellow, each piece visualizes the variances of subtracted color when affected by human touch. In a statement, Panton said he "evokes a spirit in his work that feels like a collision between an analog past…

Expansive Black and White Patterns Mixed With Chrome Color Spectrums in Murals by Felipe Pantone

Argentinian-Spanish artist Felipe Pantone creates public murals that integrate black and white patterns with bright sweeping color spectrums. His tag "Pantone" is an evolution of his original name "Pant" chosen when he was just thirteen, a complete coincidence despite his color-rich works. His mash-up of grids and glitch-like 3D forms imbue the pieces with throw-back digital futurism, an aesthetic that feels extremely grounded in 80s graphic design. Pantone travels all over the world painting his bold murals, visiting Seoul, Madrid, Taipei, and Ibiza within the last year. One of his most recent, Chromadynamica, was created for LisbonWeek and can be seen below. You can view more…
