AB
These two triangles are geometrically the same, but different from the artistic point of view. While that the triangle A, resting on its base, gives a feeling of rest or immobility, the triangle B, to be supported at its apex, seems to be in unstable equilibrium, in tension, as if any was time to move left or right. These tri angles often used is to sort the centers of a work , with the intent to cause different sensations.
For example, e n the box i) has been used a scheme based on a triangle with the base well established and its apex at the top. S and seeks give a feeling of serenity and rest.
On the other hand, the inverted triangle or supported at its apex is used to show stress, conflict, indecision, etc.. For example, in the box ii) , the artist has used an inverted triangle structure to reflect the tension in balancing the confrontation between the two players who have not yet completed game.
