Description: This wall painting exemplifies the distinctive characteristics of works by members of the Australian Centre for Concrete Art (AC4CA) with an emphasis on bright colours and simple patterns. Location and scale are the determining factors in shaping a ‘concrete art’ intervention. Daniel has created a temporary installation that plays with proportion and design. Rectangles of bright green, dark grey and white are painted directly onto the wall. The elongated wall allows a work that responds to and also involves itself with the space around it. The choice of clear crisp colours lifts the surroundings making the presence of the work extend well beyond itself.
