This painting worked on over a three year period is a powerful
example of Wells’ continuing use of non-representational,
constructive colour. The combination of three different sized
and coloured squares painted on a plain background extends his
interest in the relative implied progression and recession of each
shape in relation to the other elements within the picture.
