Blog assignment 3 "Visual Overlapping"

Interface by Steve DiBenedetto in 2002. Visual overlapping in art is when artists add depth to their paintings by positioning some objects behind others. This can be done by applying a mask to closer objects before painting the distant ones. It can also be done by painting the closest objects last. DiBenedetto's drawings aren't as turbid as his paintings, but they're just as busy. He excels at more patterns, weird geometric structures and a lurid all-overness.
His imagery, however, is repetitive and baffling.
