George D. Green was a founder of Abstract Illusionism, an art movement that uses shadow and perspective to create depth and dimension. His piece Gateway Star gives a sense of the elements popping out at you as you feel pulled in through the center of the painting. He also uses a technique called impasto, where paint is built up thickly, often achieved by mixing paint with another medium like cold wax. You can come see Gateway Star in our exhibit, Dr. Drab's Lab, now through August 24. #topeka #l
