"Ethetic Influence" Colorful Abstract Geometric by Ron Childers

Ron Childers’ works represent a series of artistic experiments, with each piece highlighting a distinct approach and technique in painting. This piece's central grid of interlocking geometric forms dominates the canvas. Squares and triangles alternate, creating the illusion of depth and relief. The use of bold, contrasting colors and the introduction of pastels—ranging from greens and reds to blues and yellows—contribute to the dynamic energy of the work. Patterns appear to shift momentarily before our eyes.

The central square, made up of smaller interlocking squares, is enclosed by what appears to be an inner frame of vertical stripes, positioned only on the top and the bottom. This striped frame acts as a stabilizing force, grounding the otherwise vibrant and fluid interior composition. This juxtaposition between the central dynamic forms and the static border creates a tension that enhances the viewer’s sense of immersion in the piece. The painting’s visual impact lies in its structure and the optical effects it generates. The repetition of shapes and the careful balance of color create a sense of instability, as though the image is vibrating or alive. The viewer’s gaze is drawn inward, then pushed outward, in a continuous dance between focus and diffusion. Childers offers no overt emotional cues, presenting a composition independently of the narrative.
