The result is a shifting field of forms that seem to advance, recede, and drift across the canvas. Iskowitz constructs spatial tension through the relationship between overlapping colour patches and the areas of painted ground that surround them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eT\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehe work plays with the perception of foreground and background: colours that initially appear to float against a distant field reveal, upon closer examination, a more complex layering of paint.
