20. Unity through Repetition

Denise Landis, COLORS

Repetition achieves visual unity by simply repeating a part of a design in order to relate the parts to each other. This repeating element could be a color, a texture, a shape, an angle, or a direction. This acrylic painting shows six different color canvases put together on one lighter canvas. Though each color is different and is not painted exactly alike, the repetition and placement of the colored squares brings them together to form one unified piece.
