Black and White Art

In
these black and white contemporary abstract art works (below), Ranna®
adopted a more agile approach to laying large forms onto her
canvas, less deliberate than her 1990s abstract art. Abstract art
at its purest, the forms in these new pieces have an epic quality
that frees Ranna Lachlan's work from Asian calligraphic influences
typical of her 1990s abstract art. Through Ranna's continued use
of her signature reflective and refractive Shimmer Art™ techniques,
pictorial space is constantly advancing and receding, figure and
ground change place depending on angle of view or light on the surface,
black becomes silver, white becomes grey, grey becomes silver, silver
becomes black. Nothing is as it seems and flux rules. Yet visual
logic remains uncompromised in each fugitive moment of flux. Part
of Ranna's Lachlan's well-documented, cyclic, black and white phases
that regularly punctuate her work, this black and white series is
abstract art at its most magical. (Winchester Arts Management, Washington
