Bert Irvin - Ranelagh; And Sangora 1993

At first glance I found this art work quite an eye full but while taking the time to study, I have grown to quite like this piece of art. The use of the contrasting shapes and colours makes me feel some sort of positive and negative vibes (which I can relate to in my Fine Art unit as I've been using colours to represent the mood of my work). For me I think the middle red line with the zigzag indicates the separation of the different moods as for me the green and dark yellow circle represents positivity against a negative background since the colours are quite harsh. The 'hash tag' for me represents some sort of negativity as the symbol could stand for restriction (the turquoise could also represent relaxation and peace as the colour is calm) which could contribute to the contrast of this piece. Overall this art work sort of reminds me of the 'ying-yang' sign as this picture for me shows good in bad and bad in good which could represent life itself.
