The forms appear to weave over and under one another, creating controlled optical movement without losing the clarity of the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe palette is richer and warmer than some of the related Compass works, giving it a lively, almost textile-like quality. It is full of rhythm and colour, but still held together by Osborne’s precise geometric structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist No. 271.
