DSGA Polyptychs (Tetraptychs/Quadriptychs)
Art pieces from Tom R. Chambers' "Digital Suprematism - Geometric Abstraction" series ( Digital Suprematism (canva.site) ) have been rotated (clockwise) through four panels at 45, 135, 225, and 315 degrees. The vertical placeholders create an interesting polyptych (tetraptych or quadriptych). The polyptych originated as a form of sacred art, as a term to describe art in general, it can be seen to encompass any work of art constituted by multiple pieces of art such as sculpture, photography, or video and text-based art forms. Polyptychs were most commonly created by early Renaissance painters, the majority of whom designed their works to be altarpieces in churches and cathedrals. The polyptych form of art was also quite popular among ukiyo-e printmakers of Edo period Japan. Some medieval manuscripts are polyptychs, particularly Carolingian works, in which the columns on the page are framed with borders that resemble polyptych paintings. Digital Suprematism (canva.site)
