James Flynn's paintings question the nature of perception. His optokinetic works aim to destabilize the viewer's understanding of image and color, creating a visual field in which color and image blend optically. When experiencing his work, perception of both image and color are dependent on one's proximity and position in relation to the piece. As directional angles of ambient light change, so does the viewer's experience of color intensity and surface reflectivity. Manipulation of line values, color harmonies, and spatial characteristics of chromatic induction also add to their optical effects.
