| Description: |
The artist uses
a rectangular grid
to shape the
colours, which thus
float free.
Such forms, intensely modulated, create a strong interplay of forces.
The
figured
ground
belies
in some sense
active
rather than simply one of passive comprehension.
``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162] |
