A cubist-style portrait of a face assembled from flat planes of orange, pink, blue, green, grey and tan, with two asymmetric dark eyes, heavy black brows, bright red lips and long blue hair, on a pale blue ground.

Room 12 · The Living Shape

Portrait in Planes

A face taken apart into flat colour and put back together — no two planes agreeing on where the light is.

Hangs in The Living Shape, room 12 of 14: The flat unmixed colour of the hard-edge work, turned on something alive — a face taken apart into planes, a bird crossing a painted morning. No shading, no modelling, nothing softened: the living thing set down in bright and uncompromising shapes.
