This piece effectively utilizes repetition to create a very spectacular sight. Though varying, the repetition of the rectangles on the wall creates a very unified, impactful piece. If it were many different shapes, I don’t think it would have the eye-catching power as it does now.

This is another good example of repetition used effectively. In this piece, he repeats nearly the same slice of cake over and over which creates a definite sense of unity. However, he manages to create interest in such perfect repetition by painting the viewpoint from an interesting angle as well as adding a dramatic shadow.
