323/540 1980

Editor: Here we have Ian Stephenson's work, "323/540." It's quite striking, almost like an explosion frozen in time. What do you see in this fascinating dance of colour and form? Curator: It's like the big bang on a small scale, isn’t it? Stephenson was fascinated with colour, seeing how tiny drops could build into something immense. Does it remind you of Pointillism, perhaps, but with a twist? Editor: I see what you mean. There's a definite structure, but also such spontaneity. Curator: Exactly! That tension is key. It's almost like he is trying to capture a fleeting moment, a burst of energy, chaos contained within a frame. What do you make of that? Editor: I never thought of that. It makes me think about art in a new way. Thanks! Curator: My pleasure! There's always more to discover, isn’t there?
