Throb

George Ridgway

DESCRIPTION

Throb by George Ridgway (b. 1992) captures circular groupings of blue, purple, and red colour patterned throughout the work, with an impression of a circular indentation disrupting the pattern within the piece. This circular impression is characterised by the presence of an outline erasing part of the coloured blobs, and the white background being more present instead of the yellow hue that covers the rest of the piece. 

Ridgway's interest in ecology and work as a scientific researcher is present in this work with its impression of looking through a microscope at small elements of something, possibly a leaf. The circular indentation is perhaps the viewpoint through the microscope, putting everything within that circle into sharper focus.
