Non-representational artist Howard R. Barnhart unites colorist and Constructivist methods creating abstract geometric art in several media. From 2002 through 2004, he completed twenty nonrepresentational compositions each of which includes one or more digital animations, sets of digital prints and constructions. All of the construction were wall reliefs of acrylic, panels and wood.
 



Digital Animations chronicle the full cycle of a composition's development. To limit download time, these Quick Time videos are edited, compressed segments of the full, high resolution originals. Many are avaiaable on DVD.

Digital Prints
are produced from individual files that make up an animation. Number, selection, and arrangement of files can be varied freely as can the size of the finished prints.

Relief Constructions
 
are based on animations and prints, but are not fabricated from them mechanically. Animations and prints are viewpoints of departure. Relief constructions project and visualize some of the three-dimensional implications of the composition.
