Bright Mountains

I really like this screen print because it manages to pull off bright colours without being gaudy and visually loud. I think that its the texture that makes it work. The little breaks in colour reduce the glare and vibrancy of it. It gives the weathered effect which contrasts from its bright colours. The white mountain separates the yellow and the pink and I think this is because if the pink was directly next to the yellow colour theory dictates that the contrast would make it seem more vibrant and it may seem like an acid yellow. But the white give a break to the colour and spaces it out giving a much lighter over all feel.  The colours are reminiscent of a sun rise/set when the sky starts to have hues of pink and purple. This gives the piece a sense of calm because it is pre associated with those times to either be done with the day and over or its a new day with new potential.
