Replication of "AXL II" by Moholy-Nagy

This photo is a replication of the fascinating artwork "AXL II" by László Moholy-Nagy. I created this image on Adobe Photoshop, which proved to be quite challenging and complex but also enjoyable. This art piece is a 2-D graphic which centres around the focal point of a pure black circle. Surrounding this is a series of lines and rectangles that are distorted to create the illusion of perspective. The image appears to be receding as the lines grow closer together in the background. In the centre ground of the piece the artist has overlapped a series of earthy toned rectangles that work harmoniously together. The colour palette of this image is subdued, containing a range of muted browns, greys, yellows and greens, with minor pops of black. This creates a calm atmosphere withing the artwork and the concentration of colour in the middle draws the eye to the centre. There is also a distorted cross in the centre of the image which adds an extra design element to the piece.
