Colour Tension

In these three works I was experimenting with colour by layering , colour relationships and the tension colours carry against each other . I had done a few experiments before these ones where I layered colours up to see the relationship the underlying colour has with the colour on top . Through these experiments I realized that the brighter the colour was underneath the more vibrant and intense the colour was on top , Yellow was a good indicator of this as you can see the the horizontal red and yellow stripped work . I also thought that not only would the colour relationship create tension but also the forms on the work . I created very acute angles and and sharp lines with the green on top of the red work  where the tension created also created a pulsing effect when you look at it , the space where the colors bud up against each other expands and contracts as you change your point of focus when looking around at the work . The work with a yellow background and blue organic shape was a direct response to the previous work as i was trying to see if the organic shape of the blue form would still bring up some tension between the two colours .
