Intersection
In Intersection (2020), a series of abstract works on paper which Al Banna rips and re-arranges at random permutations to probe the possibilities of color constraints and the conflict in stratified geometric shapes. While lack of color acts as material in Intersection, it’s his series of Intersection color collage (2020) that allows rigor to compete with randomness. With the precision of celestial bodies orbiting in space, he cuts paper into geometric figurations and layers them into galactic swirling masses, resulting in a relentless optical illusion.
