Rubicon / cyan breaker - Limited Edition of 8 Photograph

Rubicon is a laser cut C type photographic image, printed on Fuji metallic paper, and Diasec mounted between clear Perspex and DiBond. It’s fitted with a hidden subframe, so it appears to float 15mm in front of the wall. .. I drew Rubicon as part of my Current at Catto show in 2017. It’s the first of a series of circular ‘systematic variation’ pieces, that take on the idea of using geometrical variations to re-modulate underlying drawings to add increased levels of movement and energy to the line work, in this case using a kind of diamond matrix to animate the flow of the inks as they work outwards from the centre. I made the study in two distinct colour palettes, this highly liquid cyan, turquoise and orange one, and a more autumnal piece with coppers, golds, reds and oranges. Rubicon refers to a myriad things, but in my mind it’s a reference to the first Tangerine Dream album I bought in 1984, an astonishing piece of fully synthesised music, which still seems years ahead of its time. More recently I’ve also been listening to the incredibly talented Anoushka Shankar, whose Rubicon track is a piece about the refugee crisis, and appears on her amazing album Land of Gold. Both are well worth a listen.
