The concentric circle — a primordial and universal form — becomes here an architecture of vision. The image does not represent: it organizes. It constructs a field of visual tension that compels the eye to move from the center outward and back again, in a continuous, hypnotic motion. The surface is transformed into a mental space.
If in Johns the target was a reflection on perception and on the relationship between object and sign, here the geometry is charged with a more emotional vibration. Color is neither neutral nor analytical: it is saturated, warm, almost solar. The dominant yellow radiates energy, while the inner concentric bands modulate a chromatic progression that suggests depth and pulsation. It is not a static target, but an expanding center.
The absolute centrality of the composition introduces an almost meditative dimension. The geometry is disciplined, yet remains human.
The artist demonstrates how geometry, far from being a sterile formal exercise, can become a dynamic space — an active perceptual field. The circle does not enclose: it expands. It does not delimit: it concentrates and radiates.
