After going to the Figuring light, Colour and the intangible exhibition I chose to talk about the use of colour in the “Dreaming” by Rebecca Partridge. First of all I think that it is extremely cleverly done, by just using red, blue and green, yet creating all of the colours shown by over lapping them. The painting as a whole reminds me of a dodgy disco ball at a party, which is what first attracted me to it. I like how Rebecca has made the colours go from being dull and dark around the edge, to really bright and vivid in the centre, pulling your focus mainly to the centre, where a contrast is made by just having it black in the middle. The spiral effect made by the ovals used in the painting getting smaller towards the middle, and over lapping made my eyes actually follow the path of them as I was looking at it rather than looking at it from a distance and as a whole. I like this, as it gives you a different way to view it rather than just a few quick glances at the main parts.
