In these black and white contemporary abstract art works (below), Ranna® adopted a more agile approach to laying large forms onto her canvas, less deliberate than her 1990s abstract art. Abstract art at its purest, the forms in these new pieces have an epic quality that frees Ranna Lachlan's work from Asian calligraphic influences typical of her 1990s abstract art. Through Ranna's continued use of her signature reflective and refractive Shimmer Art™ techniques, pictorial space is constantly advancing and receding, figure and ground change place depending on angle of view or light on the surface, black becomes silver, white becomes grey, grey becomes silver, silver becomes black. Nothing is as it seems and flux rules. Yet visual logic remains uncompromised in each fugitive moment of flux. Part of Ranna's Lachlan's well-documented, cyclic, black and white phases that regularly punctuate her work, this black and white series is abstract art at its most magical.
