Red, Red 1990

"Red, Red," created in 1990 by British artist John Bratby (1928-1992), is a vibrant and expressive painting. The work features four figures, three women and one man, depicted in a bold and caricatured style. The women are dressed in bright red, emphasizing their presence and creating a strong visual contrast against the background. The man, who appears older and perhaps more somber, is seated in the foreground, his blue clothing contrasting with the dominant red hues. This work exemplifies Bratby's signature style, known for its bold brushstrokes, vivid colors, and often humorous depictions of everyday life. The painting captures a moment of interaction between these figures, leaving the viewer to interpret the dynamic of their relationship.
