Ugo Rondinone

Pulsating with brilliant color, target-like "sun" paintings comprise one of the artist’s most celebrated and longstanding series of works. Executed with acrylic spray-paint on an entirely round canvas, each life-size "sun" painting, as the artist describes them, comprises several bands of hazy color. Each band of color appears unfocused and hazy, as though they are emanating from pulsating neon tubes. Combined with its generous scale, the hypnotic vibrancy of the work has an almost meditative effect.
