Duncan Rawlinson made this AI-generated image to explore optical tension between saturated complementary hues. Cobalt teal and fluorescent orange lock together in sharp zigzag bands that tilt and accelerate toward the lower right corner. A single wedge of deep red interrupts the pattern off-center, briefly anchoring the eye before the restless chromatic exchange resumes. Thin slivers of yellow appear between the interlocking tongues, adding a third note to the high-contrast field. The hard edges between shapes generate a persistent flicker, and the entire composition refuses to settle into a stable afterimage. This piece examines color interaction and the ways saturated hues can create movement and discomfort within a static frame.
