Luc Sokolowski | Hard-Edge Geometric Abstract Art

Tetrachromacy, my solo exhibition from earlier this year in Dallas, has opened in Houston at the Library Gallery at Lone Star College North Harris. Aug 5, 2025 - Jan 9, 2026. More info is on the home page of my website. (Link in bio.)

This series makes me consider the fallibility of memory. But I think art is basically about innovation, evolution, and realization. We should appreciate the creations of the past, but we instinctively look to the inventions that lie ahead.

The title of this painting is more of a way to identify the series than to explain it. But the title does refer to my understanding of this abstract and optical composition in terms of rays and discovery.

This piece represents a new approach to this scale which was influenced by two paintings in my last exhibition. The grid is simpler, but the colors sing more loudly!

This painting is an updated version of an older design. I doubled the number of stripes, and I used a random number generator to decide on the order of the colors in each stripe. The result is much more dynamic!

I posted a smaller representative of this series a few days ago. As in all my current series of paintings, there is randomness within the pattern, or vice versa. And even randomness itself sometimes produces patterns.

Yes! All of these options are exciting to me for some reason. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you very much! I’ll be posting a larger piece next week that takes this idea to the next level!

This is the precursor to the larger painting that I first posted. It may be surprising to learn that these colors are not mixed. I paint straight from the tube, and they even come from different manufacturers!

Thanks for the feedback, Luis! I plan to make a 24x24 inch painting with this design and palette in the coming months for a show later this year. I will post pictures of the installation at that time. Thanks again for your interest and support!

Thanks Domenica! We’ll see! At the very least, the design will expand outward, so the lines will seem smaller relative to the scale of the work.

This is an updated version of one of my spiral designs. I doubled the number of stripes, which increased the optical effect of transparency. I like the irony of using flat areas of color to suggest depth.

Thank you so much Luis! I have noticed that many of my compositions are not unique, but it is what I do with color that proposes a new dimension. I am happy just to add to the existing conversation rather than to invent an entirely different paradigm.

I’m expanding the grid in this series in which I use a random number generator to make composition and color decisions. The result is a more complex maze of optical effects of transparency, light, and shadow.

Thank you very much!

This painting is part of my solo show, Tetrachromacy, at Brazos Gallery at Dallas College Richland Campus, which closes at the end of the month. (Check out the press release link in my bio for details.)

This still looks fresh and relevant!

Tetrachromacy, my solo show of paintings in Dallas, is open for one more week! See the press release link in my bio for more details!

I often compose paintings at a small scale before moving up to a larger canvas size. This allows me to observe any unexpected color or design issues. I think this piece is challenging to me, but in good ways.

Hello everyone on Bluesky! I am a geometric abstract artist who likes optical illusions and a little randomness in my art. As for this painting, which is the centerpiece of my current show (see link in bio for details), it is titled:
