Untitled (Colour Study) by Shafik Al-Hamdani  Image: One luminous, fiery red band hovers above three quieter bands of cooler hues; all emerging from a dark, mysterious background.  The object was to create the strongest illusion of depth, or ‘push-pull’ among the few colour bands.  Within the apparently minimalist composition lies a complex combination of light versus dark, warm versus cool, intense versus muted, etc.
