{"product_id":"mike-schick-laterally-speaking-art-print","title":"Laterally Speaking","description":"\u003ch2\u003eReproduction of Laterally Speaking by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.decorus.art\/collections\/mike-schick\"\u003eMike Schick\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nMike Schick — \"Laterally Speaking\" is a compelling example of mid-20th-century geometric abstraction, a movement that emerged as a direct response to the emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism. Schick’s work aligns with the principles of the New York School, particularly the influence of artists like Josef Albers and Frank Stella, who sought to explore the inherent properties of form, color, and space. The composition is structured around a central axis of balance, with the large black circle and square creating a powerful visual anchor that is counterweighted by the fragmented, semi-circular form on the right. This arrangement creates a dynamic tension that is both asymmetrical and harmonious, challenging traditional notions of pictorial depth and perspective. The artist employs a restrained palette, utilizing a monochromatic scheme of black, white, and gray, which emphasizes the purity of the geometric forms and their relationships to one another. The subtle textural variations within the gray and blue fields, likely achieved through layered glazes, add a tactile quality that contrasts with the crisp, hard edges of the shapes. This interplay between texture and form is a hallmark of Schick’s technique, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of materiality and visual weight. The work’s interpretive significance lies in its ability to evoke a sense of quiet contemplation, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork not as a representation of the external world, but as a self-contained system of visual relationships. In this way, \"Laterally Speaking\" transcends mere abstraction to become a meditation on the fundamental elements of painting—line, shape, color, and space—offering a timeless reflection on the beauty of order and balance.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.decorus.art\/collections\/mike-schick\"\u003eFor more art by Mike Schick click here.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDecorus Art is an authorized licensee of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wildapple.com\/\"\u003eWild Apple Graphics\u003c\/a\u003e.
