Felipe Pantone (b. 1986)
Subtractive Variability Circular 34

Felipe Pantone’s Subtractive Variability Circular series represents a masterful fusion of kinetic art and cutting-edge color theory, inviting viewers into a mesmerizing interplay of movement, light, and pigment. Each circular composition is meticulously crafted with overlapping layers of cyan, magenta, and yellow—primary colors in subtractive color theory. These works reveal Pantone’s fascination with the fluidity of perception, as the dynamic interplay of transparent layers creates a constantly shifting spectrum of colors and gradients.

Through the movement of these meticulously arranged layers, or simply as the viewer’s position changes, each piece appears to evolve, offering an endless variety of visual outcomes. The resulting optical phenomena establish a conversation between form, technology, and the natural interactions of light. In Subtractive Variability Circular, Pantone blurs the boundaries between art and science, channeling the traditions of Op Art into a distinctly contemporary, almost digital aesthetic that celebrates both the analog beauty of pigment and the kinetic qualities of light and motion.

Each piece in this series exemplifies Pantone’s signature style: a synthesis of street art, graphic design, and avant-garde abstraction. These artworks invite viewers to explore the mutable relationship between color, form, and motion, creating a profound sensory experience in the process.
