David Sequeira
David Sequeira, Song Cycle (detail), 2019-2020, Gouache on paper, 29.7 x 21cm.
David Sequeira’s works often refer to musical notation, however they do not seek to illustrate particular pieces of music. Instead, musical references are used to heighten the sensation of colour in his work. The visual resonance and vibration of each colour is articulated not only by its geometric shape, but also by its position within Sequeira’s overall compositions. Through the individual components of his works and their subsequent ‘orchestration’ as a single piece, Sequeira points to the infinite harmonic possibilities of colour.
This exhibition is presented by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts in partnership with NAFA.
