Colour fields
2023 – 2011
A series of works distinguished by the use of uniform colour fields, indexed through four recurring colours: gold, green, grey and pink. The record explores the relationship between colour, spatial perception and surface continuity across Cardillo’s corpus
Definition
Antonino Cardillo
Polychromy speaks of the inclusive nature of the ‘classical’. Colour refers to the things of the world: the sea, the land, the forest and the sky. Colour possesses the power of evocation: sequentially and in associations, polychromy renders possible the universal language of architecture.
