| Description: |
It is important to understand that the
idea behind constructive colour theory
is that it enables the artist
to understand the composition in terms of
dimensionality,
rather than weight.
Such forms, serene and powerful, create strong gestalt sensations.
The artist does not use
a limited canvas
to restrict the
colours, which in this way
stand alone.
The artist employs a limited canvas to shape the colours, which thus float free. The artist employs traditional proportions to shape the colours, which therefore subsist in a world of their own doing. ``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
