Color Compensation−２ (2005-)

In this series, two pictures make up 1 unit.
A common denominator of the two pieces is the ratio of the length and width (vertical and horizontal), and the identical geometric patterns and colors of the picture under a light source at that moment.
One piece of the two is an oil painting, the other piece was painted with interior furniture paint.

Each picture is set into a picture frame that has glass covering the painted surface. I used two types of glass, one that was colored glass in which geometrical color patterns were designed, the other with clear glass.

Since different painting mediums are used and as they are seen through different glass, they are visualized by different mechanisms. One of them is seen through colored glass. In this case, the color of the picture and the color of the glass were mixed.

What I am doing in the unit, in between the two pictures including the glass of the picture frame, is 'color compensation' in order to regulate an identical condition visually, only under the light source in the space and moment.

All materials for my approach back up my supposition.
Everything is related to my supposition. I have to acknowledge that 'my approach' is inside my supposition.
I have to experience that my 'color compensation' also follows my supposition.
My supposition makes sense only under the light source at that moment and in that space.
I will see that my effort of 'color compensation' would disappear when I take them outside the room I worked in. However, I need to experience working under limited conditions. I have to find out and experience that there is no space for thinking without suppositions.
