The five Platonic solids – Tetrahedron, Hexahedron, Octahedron, Icosahedron, Dodecahedron – are the only regular convex polyhedra that exist in Euclidean space. Together they form a complete mathematical atlas of geometric regularity.
Each panel in this pentaptych is a Chromagram of one solid – a colour field constructed by mapping the geometry's absolute XYZ coordinates directly to RGB values, using the mathematical equivalence established in RGB XYZ. The visual properties of each work – the convergence of gradients, the seams, the radiant points – are entirely un-designed. They are the structural signature of each geometry, made visible through strict systematic translation.
As with Sphere, each work is not a depiction but a presence. The five solids occupy the gallery space simultaneously, extending toward the viewer from within the pigment. To move between them is to move between the fundamental architectures of three-dimensional space.
