Blue Green Modulation 1965

Curator: This is Peter Sedgley's "Blue Green Modulation," part of the Tate Collections, a work that really grabs your attention with its geometric play. What's your immediate take? Editor: It feels like looking into a distorted mirror at the ocean, calm yet subtly disorienting. The colours hum, don’t they? Curator: Yes, and consider the artist's focus on the interaction between colour and perception. Sedgley’s work explores how simple forms, expertly placed, can create complex visual experiences. It evokes ideas about movement and space, wouldn’t you say? Editor: Absolutely, it invites you to dive in, almost like a secret language between the hues. I imagine the materials used had to be really carefully selected to achieve that hypnotic effect. Curator: Indeed, the artist manipulates our perception of form through these carefully chosen materials and their arrangement. Editor: It makes you appreciate the impact of simplicity. Something so seemingly straightforward can lead to so much visual interest. Curator: Precisely, the power lies in the deliberate arrangement of these elements, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. It gives us a lot to consider, doesn't it? Editor: It does. And it's made me appreciate the art of visual deception, in the best possible way.
