Visual Overlapping

Visual Overlapping makes an artwork look like it is three dimensional. Overlapping makes the objects in the picture look like they are in front or behind one another. 1947 by Steve DiBenedetto uses the technique of overlapping. The gray rock shaped form clearly looks like it is placed in front of the rest of the painting. The different colors such as yellow, green, red, and orange are also clearly in front of the blue background. One way to create this technique to to paint an image bigger than the rest of the picture. Anther way to do this is to make the audience feel like they are looking down on the painting like in his artwork called Deliverance.
