Grand Entrance 1987

Editor: Here we have Nicholas Krushenick's "Grand Entrance," created in 1987 using acrylic paint. I’m immediately struck by the dynamism, how the colours pop. The geometric shapes and bright colour palette gives a real sense of playful energy! What do you see in this piece, beyond the obvious visual impact? Curator: Oh, beyond the bang of those colours, there's this intriguing tension, isn't there? Like, imagine confetti after a ticker-tape parade, all these wild geometric shapes, fighting for space with those regimented stripes of violet and yellow. It’s like a beautiful riot, a kind of controlled chaos if you ask me. Do you find a push and pull in this artwork? Editor: I do see that now! It’s less straightforward than it seems initially. There is definitely an organized aspect to the design, though perhaps the scattering feels more… expressive? Almost rebellious within its form? Curator: Rebellious! I love that! Like Krushenick's poking a little fun at geometric abstraction. And then there’s that frame... blocks fitted like the world’s most intense jigsaw. It’s decorative and structural at once, a total statement piece, wouldn't you say? How does it make you feel when you see it? Editor: Definitely, like a window that looks both in and out! It makes me want to dance, but then, analyze why I'm dancing. Curator: Ah, yes, to move with it and question! That's what I call art hitting its mark, wouldn't you agree? Editor: Absolutely, it’s given me a whole new way of seeing, thank you!
