George Medici’s first impression of Ellsworth Kelly’s Spectrum V was profound to say the least.

Medici first came across Kelly’s 1969 13-panel iconic color field painting as a college student when he worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, decades before he produced his first work.

Medici’s Ode to Spectrum pays homage to American painter and sculptor Ellsworth Kelly.

“I wasn’t interested in making art while I was in college,” quipped Medici. “But I was surrounded by all of the historic works at The Met and naturally gravitated to the Modern Art wing where I first saw Kelly’s Spectrum V series. Needless to say I was mesmerized at first sight.”

Inspired by Kelly’s work, Medici introduced Ode to Spectrum, a seven-panel acrylic on canvas series. The 2′ X 4′ textured paintings layer in multiple shades of each color throughout the light spectrum.

“I didn’t realize it was fifty years ago Spectrum V was first introduced,” added Medici. “Maybe it is coincidence or serendipitous. Ode to Spectrum pays homage to this great artist who continues to inspire me.”
