The Orange & Black Collection "Lunar Phases in Monoliths" Large Format Art

This piece by Jeffrey Cornett for The Orange & Black Collection is marked by a stark and striking contrast. It features three tall, black rectangular forms set against a textured orange background. Each rectangle contains a series of crescent-shaped cutouts that appear to be arranged in a vertical, staggered formation, reminiscent of phases of the moon or perhaps the gentle curvature of leaves or petals. The negative space created by these cutouts reveals the warm orange background, creating a visual interplay between the solid and void, shadow and light.

The orange backdrop is rich and textured, with variations in shade that give the appearance of a wall painted with broad, expressive brush strokes. This provides a sense of depth and movement, as if the background is in a state of flux behind the static, ordered shapes in the foreground.

"Lunar Phases in Monoliths," captures the essence of celestial cycles within a rigid, architectural form, suggesting a blend of the organic with the constructed.
