Color is best shown by an artist whose ideas and work can challenge others, creating thoughts and environments that we, the observers, could not see on our own, changing not only the physical space in front of us but also our own created mindset.

Below you will see installations from a culmination of 15 years of work from artist Olafur Eliasson as part of 'Take Your Time' exhibition currently running at the Museum of Modern Art. Along with photographer Branislav Kropilak whose work includes stunning minimalist series of parking garages, trains, building lobbies, and airplane landings.

Take Your Time: Olafur Eliasson

A culmination of 15 years of work and the first major exhibition of his work in the united states, Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson reaches out to us with questions about existence, morality and our constant search for understanding of ourselves and the world around us. He creates environments and situations that completely surround the observer, but without an observer do not stand on their own.

"We can take in our surroundings, but at the same time be critical about how we do it."

Since the 19th century, painted panoramas have given viewers a sense of what it feels like to stand in faraway landscapes or participate in historic events. Rather than illustrating a particular scene, Eliasson's installation immerses you in the color spectrum itself.

Color Spectrum kaleidoscope

A hexagonal kaleidoscope made of color-coated glass provides a multicolored, prismatic image of the world.

Sunset Kaleidoscope

Installed in an open window, this kaleidoscopic box both creates and distorts a view of the outside world, commingling mirrored images with reflections of a rotating yellow disc.

The Color Spectrum Series

The forty-eight prints in this series depict the field of visible light in electromagnetic waves, ranging from ultraviolet to infrared.

Branislav Kropilak

Born in Slovakia, Branislav spent most of his childhood in Belgium, traveling a lot around the world with his parents from an early age. He graduated at the renowned Private Academy of Fine Arts in Bratislava and later on completed studies at the Institute of Digital Photography in Prague. He spent several years working for the leading creative agencies such as BBDO, McCann-Erickson or Saatchi & Saatchi.

The main theme of his work is investigating the way in which modern technology has shaped the human environment and our lives. He is inspired by industrial design, architecture and urbanism. It has been said that his work betrays his roots as an advertising professional; the images produced being cool, stark and unforgiving. The utopian bent of his work with its appreciation of geometry and perspective have already earned him a solid base of collectors and praise from critics worldwide.
