Abstract Colour Study — Gallery Installation, Paris

5 October 2017 · Paris

A tall, narrow print in a black frame holds the room's attention: six horizontal bands of grey, running from white at the top to pure black at the bottom, each one scattered with the same confetti of small rectangles and circles in full spectrum colour. The shapes stay constant; the background darkens. Colour does more against the dark — by the bottom panel, the same hues that read as pale noise on white become luminous. Two companion works frame it on either side, completing what reads as a sustained argument about how context changes what colour can do.
