Blue and orange. Opposites that make each other sing.
Every painter knows the trick: put a colour next to its opposite and both of them glow. In Complementary Composition, a crowd of figures in cool blues, violets and turquoise walks across a blazing ground of coral and orange, and the whole board seems to hum with heat.
Seen from above, the figures move together in pairs and little groups, shoulder to shoulder, heading the same way. Broad bands of metallic gold sweep diagonally behind them, catching the light as you pass, with a flick of green and a setting sun tucked into the corners.
At just 8cm square, it is a small lesson in colour and a big dose of warmth, made for a shelf, a desk or anywhere that needs lifting.
