Andrew Myers
Screw Abstracts series
Most of Andrew’s pieces are figurative and representational; this series of abstract screw pieces provided the artist a chance to depart from stoic portraits and experiment with mathematics and color in a more playful genre of art.
These pieces are designed to trick the eye, using color gradients and strategic screw depths to give the allusion of flat surfaces for pieces that are actually three dimensional, and vice versa. They can be rearranged in various compositions.

Andrew described the process of creating these pieces extremely meditative.
What makes these pieces is truly remarkably is that they are painted in reverse. In general, objects closer to the viewer will be lighter and anything further way will be darker. Andrew flipped that on its head. Anything closer to the viewer is darker, and anything closer to the back panel is lighter. The result is the pieces feel completely flat from straight on and only reveal their dimensionality from the side.
Mathematics as an expression in art often reflects the desire for aesthetic perfection.
