Trianglism :: Three Sides, One Focus

Three points can form a square when thinking outside the box from inside the box. Cubism was created by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, working together in Paris between 1907 and 1914. The term "Cubism" was coined by French art critic Louis Vauxcelles, who described Braque's paintings as reduced to geometric shapes, resembling cubes. Later during the Pop Art Movement of the 1950s and 1960s, notable pop artists, like Andy Warhol, were influenced by cubism.

Trianglism is the new art movement with the ambition to flourish as an early-21st-century avant-garde art movement. Instead of squares and cubes, trianglism focuses on the three sided triangle within the bounds and scope of the four sided square. Thinking outside the box inside the box.

By cutting an equilateral triangle into four pieces and rearranging them, the pieces can be folded as a square like a mosaic. This is the 'corner'stone of trianglism. How? By applying the Dudeny Dissection. A geometric dissection in which all of the pieces are connected into a chain by "hinged" points, thereby rearranging a triangle into a square (and vice versa). The square as the sum of the parts, where the parts are triangles. Cubism expressed as triangles: trianglism.

Dudeny Dissection

In homage to Andy Warhol, our expression of trianglism embraces the vivid use of primary colours (along with high-contrast combinations).
