[title not known] 1968 - 1969

Curator: This geometric image, currently untitled, is by the British artist Robyn Denny, who was born in 1930 and died in 2014. It is held here at the Tate. Editor: Oh, I find it instantly soothing, meditative almost. The muted purples stacked like building blocks, or maybe a deconstructed temple. Curator: That sense of architectural structure is apt. Denny’s work often explored the psychological impact of spatial relationships, using basic geometric forms to evoke feelings of order, or sometimes, disorientation. Editor: Disorientation, yes, I can see that too. It's the subtle shifts in color, the way the forms nest within each other, but never quite align. Is it trying to tell us something? Curator: It could suggest the layered nature of memory, or the way simple forms can represent complex ideas. Editor: It really does invite you to look closer, to question. Thanks for pointing out some new things to consider. Curator: My pleasure. It makes you look beyond the surface.
