Colour Shift Panel Rose is one of a series of works by Ruben de la Rive Box and Golnar Roshan from Amsterdam studio Rive Roshan that explores subtle shifts of colour and the way light reflects and alters a room.
Light, reflection and colour shifts are an important part of Rive Roshan’s work, which blurs the boundaries of art and design. They have described the colour effect of the Colour Shift Panel Rose as inspired by the soft light of Amsterdam.
This shift of colour, and our perception of it, exists in many of Rive Roshan’s works, including tables whose tops shift in colour and a room in the Museum Weesp in the Netherlands whose walls shift in subtle colours from purple to pale peach inspired by the colours of an antique wall tapestry.
Keeping their connection to Australia alive – Golnar Roshan is Iranian-Australian while Ruben de la Rive Box is Dutch – Colour Shift Panel Rose is now in the collection of new commercial gallery Sally Dan Cuthbert in Sydney, which represents Rive Roshan in Australia.
The pair recently showed works at the London Design Festival and Dutch Design Week and are also founding members of the design curatorial collective Form and Seek, whose exhibition, Age of Man, I saw at Milan Design Week in 2017.
