My direction of travel was clear after the Winter Cabaret exhibition, meaning production at a larger scale had to be done. Fortunately, the construction and layout of studio 4 offer a handful of ideas to work with. Originally, the stretcher was made to fit inside triangle beams but because of lack of equipment, health & safety concerns it couldn’t be done. The outcome changes the original intent completely. If the painting was to fit neatly inside, it would’ve become a mural that serves a different purpose.

An attempt to use the lightest grey possible in such manner that white can still be seen. Despite that the shade of grey in both paintings are the same, it is harder to distinguish in Grey Lines (four triangles in the corners and the line going across is grey). As a result, this shows how important the shade white is when incorporating it with other colours/shades.

Determined to experiment with another shade combination other than black and white, I came across the interesting fact that the colour duo black and yellow stimulates the eye the most (hence it is used in many road signs). Adding to the different colour combination is the composition of the painting. Unlike others, they are centralised. Because of the focus and 3D effect, the work generates a spiral effect.
