His various methods for producing optical effects on canvas, including his use of color — contrasting, physical mixing or varying proportions of just one color — in combination with other techniques, such overlapping
planar shapes or lines in compositions; defining shapes with hard or diffuse edges; adding vertical or horizontal lines to activate the surfaces; and layering dots, dashes and triangles in contrasting colors on the surfaces to produce vibrational effects.

shape.

shape of the canvas; and sometimes these outlines multiply, acquiring a luminous near - solidity, as if Tworkov were about to become a geometric abstractionist.
