NARRATOR:
Impact II, created in 1977 by Irene Chou, is a painting in ink and colour on paper, measuring 66 centimetres high and 139 centimetres wide.
The overall impression of this piece is one of movement, as you see the gestures the artist made as she lyrically moved her brush across the paper up and down as well as in a circular motion.
In the centre of this painting, there is a reddish pink circle that has a diameter of about half of the painting’s height, and is slightly washed out in colour. This pink circle lies on top of a bigger white circle, comprising an orb-shaped area of negative space where the artist has not painted. Over the entirety of the circles, hints of yellow seem to burst out from the pink circle and diffuse into the white, while very small splotches of black paint are scattered all over the area. This centre orb-shaped area moves our eye in a circular motion as we follow the artist's loose circular brush strokes.
Starting at the bottom right of the pink circle and moving upwards towards the top of the paper are about eight to ten black brush strokes. Most of the strokes are of varied thicknesses and lengths. Some strokes have very little black ink where the artist's brush has rested only briefly against the paper, leaving more white empty space. All these black lines extend upwards with a slight curve and form the right border of the central white circle, the round negative space. Some broader strokes also touch the base of the pink circle inside the negative space, as if the lines are holding the pink orb like a ball in a palm.
On the left side of the painting, more curved black brush strokes constitute the left border of the white circle. Starting from the bottom left of the white circle, these loose and randomly sequenced strokes appear to extend beyond the top edge of the paper. On this left side, two thick strokes of red lie near the inner edge of the bundle of black strokes. They run along with the black then fade and become obscured under thick painted black lines. Further to the left, about five to seven uneven circular black strokes continue, until they reach the end of the paper.
The black brush strokes on both sides morph into smudges of black ink just above the circles in the centre, and they appear to continue past the edge of the paper out of your view. A very small red rectangular seal of the artist’s name marks the bottom right of the painting.
