[no title] 1972

Editor: This untitled piece by Peter Stroud showcases a series of nested geometric shapes in varying shades of blue and purple. It's quite calming. What visual elements stand out to you the most? Curator: The composition is rigorously structured. Notice the interplay between the vertical and horizontal lines; how each rectangle subtly shifts in color and proportion, creating a push-pull effect. The materiality, likely screenprint, flattens the image, emphasizing surface and line. Editor: So, the emphasis is less on depth and more on the relationship between the shapes and colors themselves? Curator: Precisely. The artist uses color not to describe something but as the very subject itself. How does the color palette affect your perception of the work? Editor: It feels very serene and balanced, almost meditative. I hadn’t considered the impact of the flatness before. Thanks! Curator: Indeed, a close look at such formal elements reveals the artist's intent.
