Roy Osborne, Chromotopia III, 2011

Roy Osborne (1948-)

Chromotopia III (2011)

Acrylic paint on canvas
100 x 100 cm

A patterned work of small circular forms arranged across a blue ground. Each circle is divided into shifting segments of green, orange and brown, producing a crisp sense of repetition while allowing subtle variation across the surface.

The painting has a playful clarity, somewhere between optical study and decorative field. Its large square format gives the repeated motif enough space to breathe, making the work feel expansive rather than busy.
