Originally working with a pen, paper, a ruler and a compass, Orang has been creating Op Art – or as he calls it ‘Geometric Art’ – for over 20 years. When he started to use computers and in particular Microsoft’s ‘Word’ application in his academic work, Orang was curious to find out what else the software was capable of, particularly the ‘Draw’ utility. Several years on and it is fair to say that he has mastered that utility; incredibly all of Orang’s work displayed here was created within the minimalistic ‘Draw’ environment of Microsoft Word. To get an understanding of how Orang achieves this please see here and here.
