COMMENTS
The juxtaposing of bold colours strongly affects our eye’s ability to correctly perceive the colour. This is a phenomenon called simultaneous contrast For example, when a strong blue is placed next to a light yellow, the yellow becomes more intense In some instances, the colours will change completely This in turn, affects the colour vocabulary of the finished work.

Just a few influences: Patrick Heron, Henry Bruce, Auguste Herbin The Park Avenue Cubist, The St Ives Group, the Impressionists, Kandinsky, the Fauves, Hilma Af Klint.
And many, many, more.
