Hex

Hex marks the beginning of the visual investigation developed in Three Colours, Six Shapes. Built from a recurring square-and-circle motif, the composition explores how a limited set of forms can generate a rich and varied range of optical experiences.

Using only three colours, the work examines the transformative potential of overlap and transparency. As layers intersect, secondary and tertiary hues emerge, allowing colour relationships to develop through interaction rather than accumulation. The resulting composition balances clarity and complexity, revealing how simple structures can produce unexpected visual depth.

Created specifically for screen printing, Hex embraces the precision and luminosity of the medium. Crisp edges, saturated colour and carefully controlled transparency allow the relationships between forms to unfold with clarity, while repeated circular elements introduce a subtle rhythm across the surface.

Part of a limited edition of fourteen, Hex establishes the formal language that would later evolve into larger works within the series, exploring the ongoing dialogue between colour, form and perception.
