Gestalt: Black & White Figure Ground

Sophia Fugate

Updated: Feb 13, 2019

Simultaneous Figure Ground: Fluctuation between the positive and negative space so that either the background or foreground could be the figure.




Description


In the composition, the viewer will see either the black or white as the figure, because it is not defined by the artist which is the figure. Parallelism is also used within this composition. Although figure ground is present, the eye is not moving throughout the composition, which leaves it looking static. There is asymmetrical balance at the diagonal, which adds interest.
