About The Artwork
Based on work by the chemist George Field who, in 1845, constructed a color-circle from the basic colors of red, yellow and blue. Field was thus wishing to take up a position opposed to Newton. Secondary and tertiary colours arise through progressive superimposition. Meanings were allocated to the colours: hot (red) and cold (blue/green) stand opposite one another; likewise advancing and retiring. George Field also saw a connection between color and sound, and so draws our attention to one of the stumbling blocks of the era: namely, an understanding of the carrier medium of light. This large work was created to evoke the feeling of an ancient tapestry to be wall hung in a large space. It was created with Oil, Woodstain, Acrylic, Charcoal, Gold & Copper Leaf, including multiple stains on the surface made with vintage 1962 Bordeaux.
