Red and blue. Blue and red. These two eternally opposed colors have met again and again throughout the history of art, each carrying a universe of meaning. Deep blue, adorned with ethereal touches, embodies the celestial. It's a color that invites us to dream, to escape, to that infinite contemplation where the mind wanders, fascinated by the expanse of the sky. It is the symbol of infinity, mystery and serenity, a true refuge for the soul.
Opposite it, red is as intense and profound as its counterpart. It's more than just a color: it's earth, life, passion incarnate. Its depth rivals that of blue, but where the latter escapes into the heights, red remains stable, unshakeable. It's a raw, bold force, moving forward with the solidity of rock, imposing and majestic.
In Poliakoff's lithograph, these two colors don't just contrast, they dialogue and respond to each other, creating a harmony of rare intensity. Red and blue blend and complement each other, and together they tell a story. A story of duality and unity, heaven and earth, dream and reality. The work then becomes much more than a simple composition; it's an invitation to plunge into a universe where opposition becomes complementarity, where color becomes language, emotion, and where each nuance tells a fascinating story.
