EUGENE ANDOLSEK

All untitled, ink on graph paper

I'm sooo happy these images found me this morning. Mesmerizing, entrancing and seductive...the patterns coupled with the colors...

Breathtaking. I can't stop glaring at them.

They were created by 89-year-old Eugene Andolsek by using a compass and straight edge. Interestingly, he never considered himself to be an artist, and this work was merely a hobby for him. Once each piece was completed, he'd stow it away and forget about it. When a caregiver at a retirement home discovered his talent, Pittsburgh's Andy Warhol Museum was contacted and Eugene was given the opportunity to exhibit his work for the first time.

Make sure to click on each image to enlarge them. You MUST view them in their full glory.
