Many years in the making, based on the the harmonic (musical) scale depicted visually. Extraordinarily hard to move from the artistic conceptualisation of this idea through to executing this interplay between sound and colour in real life. Compositionally challenging and technically difficult to physically print (a lot of colours and layers to get exactly right). Brilliantly this large artwork is both abstract and harmoniously composed, it is a tour de force of printmaking that we'd compare to the work of global superstars Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely at the height of their careers. A privilege to own on these prints so significant to a career long pre-occupation of the artist with the interplay between sound, colour and music.
In Michael's own words this work is 'An expression of the shared harmonies that arise between the harmonics of three notes represented by the colours at the base of the design. In this particular painting Red, Blue & Blue green.'
