This watercolour is part of a series that stands out for the angles and slices that segment the circles and ellipses typical of Eliasson’s watercolours. The resulting compositions evoke the dials of navigational instruments, radars, or compasses – a topic of abiding interest for the artist. The sense of motion and of segmenting apparent in this painting recurs, in three dimensions, in the overlapping fields of light that scan the walls of Qatar Museum in The living lighthouse, 2023.
