Layers of colour and repeated shapes create a lively rhythm, with something new to notice in every passage.
In Mixed Signals, blue, pink, olive green and warm orange rectangles gather across a softly coloured ground. Some are filled, others outlined, while vertical drips and fine black marks interrupt their loose arrangement.
The painting reflects Stephanie Parkes’ interest in the tension between structure and spontaneity. Acrylic and oil pastel build a textured surface where earlier colours and marks remain visible, adding depth to the repeated forms.
This piece would bring colour and character to an entryway, study or living room, working equally well on its own or within a gallery wall.
