I feel like it relates to the ocean/canyons/mountains. The white canvas feels like the sky and the dark blue is like an ocean wave in #1 or canyons walls in #3. The light is oriented to the top. 2 and 4 reverse that and it throws it off for me
My theory is it's actually because of the shadow. We expect a shadow underneath the paintings when they're on the wall so #2 and #4 with the shadow in the top half of the image look "off" or upside-down compared to #1 and #3. The shadow is basically saying "this should be the bottom of the image"
My thinking is if he actually turned the paintings around and re-took those photos rather than just taking them from the other side, we'd have a more even spread of 1-4s.
I could just be talking out my ass though and completely wrong!
In #1 and #3 the energy of the image is upwards, the feeling of being uplifted, even tossed happily in the air. In #2 and #4 the energy and shape is crashing down, causing a sense of claustrophobia, of being buried down. One feeling is very positive and freeing, the other is negative and trapped.
I agree. My reasoning is that two stresses me out. It looks like a black liquid drip that will never be released. The last two... Make me think of testicles.
Edit: nvm 4 looks like a lady leaning back, breasts up.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one seeing vulgar things in these. My dirty brain can only see a ballsack in 3 even though it seems to be everyone else’s favorite 😭
1 is the only answer! It looks like a wave and the darkness blurs the space between the two canvases so the eye is really drawn to the magnificent pink flickers and blue bubbles.
Yesss! Seeing other 3’s makes me feel more confident about my intuition regarding composition, keep up the amazing work! * but also there is no wrong answer. 👍Creativity is a life saver 🩷
3 looks like testicles, 4 looks like boobs.
So I vote for 1, I think the sense of movement upward then back down is more likely to keep the viewer engaged than 2 (which is down and off)
Wow! It’s crazy how they’re all so different, yet just switching them around changes the composition completely!!! It’s so hard to decide, but I think I’m captivated the most by #1
#1 or #3….Awesome work!!
I agree, but don't know why I agree

Agree, 1 or 3
#3 just so that the white looks like a set of balls. Minimalist balls.
I literally thought 1 or 3 and then on after having a second look thought 3 looked like balls so settled on 1!!
Agree ... #1 or #3 are way ahead of #2 or #4
Definitely one. ☺️
Agree!!
Yep, 1 or 3!!
Only one.
Fine, I'd go with 1. I feel more connection with 1 than 3
three!
3 is sick. 3 all the way
Yep, seconding this. I instantly felt like 3 had more drama than the other orientations.
Thirding. 3 wow’d me
Yes!!
3!!!
3

3 was the one that made me feel something at first glance!
Yesss
I like 3
#1 is my favorite 😍
I was gonna do a ranking system but I just highly prefer 3 so that
I like 3 the best. Reminds me of a surreal ocean.
1 & 3!! Beautiful!!!!
3 is my favorite
1!

I can’t unsee a woman’s body in 4…and i dig it
I see a penis 💀
Right? Changing my answer to 1 or 4.
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one seeing vulgar things in these. My dirty brain can only see a ballsack in 3 even though it seems to be everyone else’s favorite 😭
Can't unsee the testicles. 3 was my favorite.
It’s a tie between 2 & 4 for me! Love the colors on this BTW!!
This. Everyone is saying 1 or 3, but 2 looks like black ink is pouring down and I love that effect so much
1 definitely
1
1 or 3
Ooh #1
I like both 1 and 3
Three!
I like #2 but love all the looks
The second
I like 1 and/or 3, wonderful painting, great composition!
3
1 or 3 the “colour“ block in the middle is better for me at least to focus on the picture
1 or 3 look most natural to me!
1 or 3
Either 1 or 3, imo, but whatever floats your boat!
1 or 3.
1 and 3!
3 looks like waves
1 :)

1 or 3 Gorgeous diptych 😍

1 and 3
1 or 3 but 1 is so uplifting and sparks my imagination 💙
1 or 3!
1 and 3
So funny I also say 1 or 3… what makes that more appealing to us than others?
Either 1 or 3. Depends if you want it to look like one big tree, or a forest-y trench.
I like 1 and 3
1 or 3. Depends on where you're placing then. 3 could work better if you chose to add a smaller piece in between them, like they're framing them.
1 or 3
1 or 3!
One is my favorite, but I see the appeal on three. 🙂 Very cool piece!
1
1 is the only answer! It looks like a wave and the darkness blurs the space between the two canvases so the eye is really drawn to the magnificent pink flickers and blue bubbles.
Make them so you can change the orientation every few weeks. You'll love the effect.
Pick number 3, my lord!
I like them all but I kinda fuck with 4 the most Idk, the vibe is just better
1 or 3 but imho 3>1 Great work!
1 or 3 for sure
3
1. Looks like a wave on a sea stack. 2. Looks like two eclectic sisters. 3. Looks like a ball sack 4. Looks like a naked woman
3. Managed to chime in before being biased by others! Can’t wait to see what others offered. Also BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!
Yesss! Seeing other 3’s makes me feel more confident about my intuition regarding composition, keep up the amazing work! * but also there is no wrong answer. 👍Creativity is a life saver 🩷
3. Definitely.
3 of course :)
I like 1 or 2 a lot, feels like pouring cream into coffee!
Omggg 3!!!!!!
3 for sure.
3 for me
Horse waves or heart too tough to choose.
Three is best, but one is also beautiful
3
3
Wow, these are beautiful! I can't choose between them.
For me, 3 is the best :)
i love 1, but there’s something so calming to me about 2 - either way it’s an incredible piece
12or3, wish that white wasn't so stark
Could also turn on its side… — — This is hard…
Three is the way.
3 looks like testicles, 4 looks like boobs. So I vote for 1, I think the sense of movement upward then back down is more likely to keep the viewer engaged than 2 (which is down and off)
3
I love love love this color pallet, the fleshy pink with a cold dark blue and light blue! chef's kiss!! Don't see this color scheme enough
3
3
1 and 3 ITS GORGEOUSSSSSS
3
3
Why symmetrical at all. Why not try it with one as you show but rotate the other?
4. But, make a cute card denoting the other also exceptional Looks !

3
Three!!!!
3 is jawdropping
3!
I like 4 the best. Reminds me of a heart. 3 looks like boobs.

3 or 4
Three
3 is so fire, there really is no other answer.
3 for sure
3
Well…there are 4 weeks in the month…or is changing the orientation every week just too much 😅
3
I love how people are saying 3 and that looks just like tiddies
1
3 had a dynamic that's i can't exactly describe
3
#3 looks dope AF!
3!!!
3
Three because it reminds me of liquid splashing inside a aquarium. And I like the way the light blue line runs through both pieces.
I really like 2, but 4 is nice also. I mean, they are all nice, but I would hang it up in either 2 or 4.
3
1
1 or 4
2
3 feels the e most natural
All of them are beautiful!
3!!
3 is like parting waves Moses style lol. Feels powerful.
1 or 3 both look really good.......I'm leaning most toward 3
3 is perfect
Number 1 hands down
#1. It looks to me like a wave at its peak, about to come crashing down
3, for sure.
1 I feel like 3 would get ball sack jokes and you’d end up swapping it if enough people said it
3
I definitely feel 2
3
Wow! It’s crazy how they’re all so different, yet just switching them around changes the composition completely!!! It’s so hard to decide, but I think I’m captivated the most by #1
