Challenger
Challenger's work is a powerful interplay of op art and constructivism.
His graphic work evokes the counter play of shapes, forms and
color of his predecessors, including Albers and Escher; but in
a stronger and yet playful way.
Although Challenger ably plots new horizons with his illusionist
scenery, his concern is more with the credible realization
of improbable figures without alienating his audience with
an esoteric language.
He uses simple units and the flat, hard-edged colours are
deployed with cool detachment and yet, in spite of clear-cut
geometric shapes, his paintings always defy one interpretation.
