The pleasure of Primal Exchange rests in its mischievous, licentious spirit, paired with a theatrical composition and brisk use of colour. The gently veiled eroticism reads as play rather than provocation, and the print’s confident graphic logic further disarms and delights.
Behind the figures, the field is glamorously alive with multicolour, punctuated by ovoids of varying scale and hue that appear to flicker with crisp clarity.
