About this artwork

To make the colours in this screenprint as vibrant as possible Barns-Graham made sure that the individual coloured forms and the background were separated. Each was then printed directly onto the white of the paper rather than layering the circle and rectangular shapes on top of each other and the yellow background. The first version of this work ('Blue Light, Summer') was part of a portfolio of contemporary artworks commissioned by King’s College, Cambridge, to raise funds for the Arts Centre there. Barns-Graham made this version for herself. It is an edition of 100.
