Curatorial interpretation
A purple-and-pink tree with a blue canopy grows through a dense field of multicoloured signs, like a landmark on a map. The mood is lively, map-like and alive. Rather than depicting a fixed subject, the painting sets many signs in motion, so meaning comes from rhythm, density and interval. It rewards slow looking, as attention moves between crowded passages and moments of rest. In the exhibition it appears at position 22 (ROOM V), where its role is: large solo.
Look slowly
Find the tree first. Then look away from it into the field, and notice how quickly it returns.
