In this piece of work by Rebecca Partridge, she has used the various different properties of colours to an astounding effect. As you can see in the picture, the painting is all about coloured light prisms and how they create new colours upon making contact with one another and blending together. The amount of colours used in this picture, the size of it in general and how the artist has managed to portray them blending together is pretty staggering.
There are mostly bright colours used in this painting, but the artist has used blending capabilities of colour itself in order to produce darker versions of colours that appear in the painting. If you study the painting carefully, you can see due to the extreme mixture of colours, the theories of clashing, complimentary and harmonising colours are all in abundance around the painting. For example, you can see “cool yellow” prism next to a “cool green” prism, which is an example of harmonising colours.
If you also look towards the outer areas of the painting, the colours are at their most luminous, which is due to what I believe is called “tinting”. Tinted colours seem to have a faded style effect to them and are significantly brighter than their pure, original hues. To me, it seems to be creating a ‘colour pastel’ effect, which is often very luminous and colourful. The artist has used Colour and Light to a very interesting, stylish and unique effect in this painting, which also seems to be evident in her other piece of work too.
