Description: Polesello exposure to Op art and Minimialism encouraged him to use a paint sprayer and geometric stencils around 1962, which resulted in detached, impersonal forms applied. Polesello also adopted a diverse palette after he noticed the refraction of sunlight through one of his acrylic sculptures. The yellows, oranges, and pinks of his No. 8 Variation suggest the prismatic diversity Polesello intended. He constructed much of the painting by layering stencils of dots and circles in a seemingly careless fashion across the upper register of the canvas then spraying them with black paint. -Text by Mark Andrew White
