” REI : Atomic Burners “

REI AKA JUNCTION is no slouch when it comes to explosive pieces…

The way he rocks his color schemes is electrifying on many levels…His work literally jumps off the wall in a way that is not only captivating, but bold and full of movement at the same time..The German powerhouse recently chopped it up with the good people over at BOMBING SCIENCE for a little Q&A…

“Your sense of color is on point, everything you paint has this very lavish and strong color that really grabs you I love it! Do you have any tips for people out there struggling to up their color game? Is there specific exercises you do or do you just experiment in your black book a lot?

I’ve really made it a point to actually study color and what makes things look a certain way and why. There’s all kinds of theories and principals that help to create strong color schemes and arrangements, but mostly for me it comes from trying to visualize it ahead of time. What colors would I enjoy seeing next to each other? Then maybe testing a few colors and seeing how they look together and go from there. It’s why I sometimes bounce around in my piece as opposing to having a set scheme. I tend to favor the tertiary colors over primary because I think it looks better personally. Also – in a pinch you can search for some stock color palette samples and get some good ideas there as well”.

PEEP….
