The work · 2014
Red tears open. Beneath it, blue in broad bands, between them bright yellow and a few patches of green.
White marks scratch across everything in a star shape, as if the painting had been broken open once more after it was painted. Where white lies over blue, the layer beneath shimmers through.
The fixed palette of brilliant blue, magenta and cadmium yellow only comes years later. Three primary colours, each loud on its own. Some clarity needs a storm first.
