Simon Payne’s works are an intense and dynamic exploration of colour mixing, phasing tone rows, and illusions of movement. In Vice Verse Et Cetera ten variations of four transitions transform the screen from one field of clashing complementary colours to another, via radiating, sweeping and twisting graphic dividing lines. The course of these transitions is interrupted from the offset and becomes increasingly frenetic, especially as the spectrum turns to black and white.
