Infra-Blue by Ron Maubidea

* * * * * 

Technically Speaking... a Working Definition

The term Infra-blue is not a recognized color, nor does it exist on Google or in any book of reference. It is for that reason, I have elected to use it in these works to describe a digital shade of Navy Blue (thus-far unnamed) having peculiar iridescent properties... to be continued

Industrial Sky: Lullaby in Concrete 

Lullaby in Concrete is more of an example, and not a finished piece We chose to post it as a remedy to certain reader questions

Basically... it reflects an an early stage in building an image, prior to any cleanup and began with a photo template in Photoshop CS 

The image demonstrates the stark contrast between background colors (black and infra-blue), that… against the yellow and greens   

White and gray were added to create a foreground dimensional effect. It then became a focal point (due to the lightness) and depending on one’s preferences, the starting point for exploring an image 

Conversations with Henri Abideau (excerpt) 

Monologue in a Vacuum 

The above image is a Horizontal Reversal of Industrial Sky. It was then Inverted for the purpose of experimenting with color options I rarely use for this style 

Like the first image in this post, it too is a rough and has not been altered in terms of any sculpting or cut and paste 

The Inverting process added a textural quality which eliminated most of the touching-up - something to consider for Digital Abstracts
