The artwork, titled “Split Ring Image”, is a 2008 piece by the artist Robert Mangold, associated with the Minimalism art movement, and it falls under the abstract genre. The composition displays Mangold’s characteristic emphasis on geometry and simplicity.
This artwork features a large circle bifurcated into two equal parts. The left hemisphere is rendered in a vibrant yellow, while the right hemisphere is a soothing greenish-blue. Both halves are adorned with thin black linear arcs that intersect and create rhythmic patterns, adding depth and complexity to the otherwise minimalistic design. The ring-like shape, juxtaposed against an off-white background, elucidates the artist’s focus on form, balance, and the interaction between color and space.
