Exploring the colour theories of Sonia and Robert Delaunay, and the notion of depth as a function of surface design and colour, Andrea Tu’s flat, polychrome, hard-edged painting installation examined optics, after-effects and mirages through the juxtaposition of diverse imagery and high-key colour. Motifs sourced from tattoo magazines and the paintings of Hieronymous Bosch jostled with abstract shapes and patterns to create a peculiar visual intensity. As a whole, the installation worked as an oscillating spectacle of colour, fantasy and ornamentation, rendered in the fluorescent hues of our technological age.
