Line Properties in Tomaselli's Artwork Metalectual 2001
Tomaselli, an artist, was born in Santa Monica, California, mostly known for his detailed
art on wooden panels made by combining a collection of unorthodox constituents suspended in a
layer of clear epoxy resin. His unique art features color explosion, which he creatively combines
with an art history basis. According to Fred, his fans should get lost in his art as a means of
implementing a work-life balance. Tomaselli's art is like a window into the surreal, hallucinatory
universe. His art seduces and transports viewers into a world of pictures ("Fred Tomaselli -
Metalectual, 2001"). This essay examines two-line properties, direction, and measure, in his art,
Metalectual, created in 2001.
In terms of art, a line is a moving dot. It has virtually infinite uses in art creation. An
artist uses it to control a viewer's eye and to also describe edges. They also create a sense of
structure and balance in the visual art. In this case, the Metalectual by Tomaselli is an art he
created using different colors of lines moving in different directions. He combines both measure
and direction to create a stunning effect on the viewers creating the exact feeling he wants. In
this particular art, a viewer can easily get lost in the art as he follows the line's direction. To
accomplish this, he incorporated several lines to increase the lines' measure and incorporate light
dots ("Fred Tomaselli - Metalectual, 2001"). Looking at the art, a viewer can easily spend hours
on end as he/she tries to figure out what the art just like a puzzle. Judging from his work,
