Red with Red 1 2007 — Fine Art

Red with Red 1 2007 opens on a ground of red with marks placed across it. The marks step through tone and spacing in a steady rhythm, a practice drawn from the optical art movement of Bridget Riley. The shape stays open and the pattern reads one way across the sheet.

This fine art print is ready to hang on arrival. The print comes with a metal hanger fitted to the back. It goes straight onto a nail or screw, so there is no separate frame to buy. The matte surface keeps the red tones even when the lamp throws a warm light on it.

In the reading corner it settles against the bookshelf. From the chair you see the repeats first, and closer up the marks step in small changes. The page holds the shape without crowding the shelf.
