| Description: |
Paradoxically,
we see the
short vertical line
representing
power and authority
undulate towards the centre of the prototype,
suggesting
unreliability.
Semiotically,
we see the
diagonal axis
symbolising
the inner ego
curve back and forth,
suggesting
unreliability.
The artist avoids
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
