Composed of flat planes of interlocking shapes, the Repeater Composites are based on single line drawings. These drawings are imperfectly duplicated by hand, creating a series of curvilinear canvases made of interlocking panels that extend vertically, horizontally and diagonally across the wall. Planes seem to pass over other shapes – or are truncated as still more planes pass over them. Sperling creates an illusion of transparency by alternating flat muted colors with mead-notebook style textured surfaces, the fanciful juxtaposition of hue and pattern inspired by the late work of Roy Lichtenstein.
