Structure 1965

Editor: Here we have Brian Rice’s "Structure." The sharp lines and contrasting colors create a really bold visual. What do you see in this piece? Curator: The interplay between the square and the circle is quite interesting, wouldn't you agree? Note how the grid-like structure is disrupted by the concentric circles. This tension creates a dynamic visual experience. Editor: Yes, I can see that! It’s like a game of visual push and pull. Does that dynamism mean anything or is it purely about the composition? Curator: The formal aspects are paramount. Color, shape, and their arrangement dictate the reading. It is the structural relationships that convey the work's essence. What do you think it suggests? Editor: I guess it’s a reminder that structure itself can be playful and engaging. Curator: Precisely. A visual system that delights in its own articulation.
