Raw Sienna 

Editor: This is "Raw Sienna," made by Tizian Color Co. I find the composition so simple, a study in color and form. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The composition relies on the interplay between the rectilinear forms—the bottle, the color chart—and the sienna pigment itself. The artist's focus seems to be on the raw material of art-making. Note the subtle gradations of color and texture. Editor: So, it's not just about what's in the bottle, but the shape and the labels too? Curator: Precisely. The labels create a textual grid, mirroring the grid of the color chart. The artist calls attention to the very elements that constitute painting, rather than a finished picture. Editor: I see it now, it's the basics of art, deconstructed. Thanks! Curator: An astute observation. It's a reminder to appreciate the fundamental components of art.
