Mathoglyphs

Hexagonal structures applied in the artwork of Jens W. Beyrich allow the application of any triple of colours and the attribution of different shapes for the segments. This change in concept was first done on the basis of a single panel showing a field of “stars” decomposed in lozenges, small and large dots. Again, all sixty elements present the set of individually differentiable arrangements, qualifying by their positioning for an unprecedented rule of symmetry: while lozenges are oriented symmetrical to the centre of the panel and large and small dots invert, the application of hyper-symmetry can be put further by using a second panel with inverted colours. The reciprocity among the panels allow any positioning - horizontal or vertical, or upside down.
Visitors have associated the artwork with secret scripts, such as the Da Vinci Code, trying to decipher the enigmatic symbols. They were intrigued to find figurative elements and wondered about the ample set of rules of symmetries.
