WEDGE
1968

Acrylic on stretched cotton canvas, primed with acrylic primer.

Description:
the original hemispherical forms were more clearly defined, while the intruding yellow wedge was originally banded. The effect of this however was to create the impression of two paintings. The which was painted uniformly in yellow and the remaining area brushed over with yellow ochre and golden ochre (Cryla). Resulting effect of this was to produce a much more satisfactory effect of the yellow wedge intruding into a mist of equilibrised yellow forms.

Notes:
one result of this painting was the effect produced by washers of colour to consolidate and form an apparent equilibrium and into which disturbing elements can be introduced, again with the illusion of maintaining the equilibria. The device of allowing the edge of the painted square to dictate the form and arrangement of the internal elements was also important in creating the situation.
Masking tape was used on the yellow wedge, the other forms was obtained by simply brushing them in. The contrast between the sharp and bought nebulous forms was interesting. You pay
