Roy Osborne, Double Take I, 2015-20

Roy Osborne (1948-)

Double Take I (2015-20)

Acrylic paint on canvas
80 x 80 cm

A bright, pared-back Divisions work set against a vivid orange ground. Small circular forms, divided into green, blue and pale sections, are arranged in diagonal movement across the canvas, creating a lively sense of rhythm and optical play.

The work feels fresh, direct and highly graphic. Its clarity and colour make it especially well suited to a contemporary interior, where it would bring lift and structure without visual heaviness.
