Andrew Carrick Gow works in the upper reaches of the value scale, creating an atmosphere of brightness and expansiveness. Andrew Carrick Gow keeps warm and cool in parity, a balance that lends the work a perceptual shimmer. Chroma hovers near zero; colour declares itself through subtle shifts in hue rather than outright saturation. The most saturated colour, #4F372A, is reserved to 5.8% of the surface, where it acts as a focal punctuation. 70 units of value range underpin the palette's structural clarity: the eye always knows where light falls. Palette 2 sits within the larger chromatic argument that Andrew Carrick Gow's complete body of work advances.
