Orlando Campbell's 'Colour Blind Eye Test' draws inspiration from Ishihara's colour vision tests. It features an intricate pattern of dots in varying sizes and colours. The eye-like formation creates a compelling optical illusion that challenges viewers' perception while exploring the subjective nature of colour vision.
The work cleverly subverts medical diagnostic tools into an artistic statement, transforming a clinical test into an aesthetic experience. The circular arrangement of dots creates a pulsating visual effect that seems to shift and change as viewers engage with it, questioning the reliability of visual perception.
The piece connects to Op Art's exploration of optical phenomena and the Colour Field movement's investigation of colour relationships. By referencing Pop Art's appropriation of scientific imagery, Campbell invites viewers to partake in an interactive experience. The painting's examination of perception, combined with its striking visual impact, makes it a thought-provoking addition to any collection focused on contemporary conceptual art.
