Virtual Masterpieces

Turn your computer screen into an ephemeral masterpiece with Color Field Paintings, a web-based project of digital artist Michael Demers. Disable your pop-up blocker, choose a color scheme, and then click to generate a series of color tiles that are generated randomly based upon parameters established by Demers. Look sharp, because each three-part painting exists for only about ten seconds. We’re partial to the one that creates color tiles based on “Where,” a 1960 painting by abstract expressionist painter Morris Louis. On the go? Demers has also created a Color Field Paintings iPhone application.
