“Interchange XVIII” is an abstract artwork created by Paul Reed in 1966, and it belongs to the Hard Edge Painting movement. The artwork is characterized by its precise and sharply defined areas of color, adhering to the principles of the genre.
The artwork comprises bold, horizontal bands of color that intersect at varying angles, creating a dynamic composition. The colors used in the bands range from vibrant greens, striking blues, and deep reds to a contrasting narrow yellow stripe. Each color band is sharply delineated, maintaining clear and hard edges throughout the piece, which is a signature of the Hard Edge Painting movement. The intersecting bands set against a white background add a sense of movement and energy to the artwork, reflecting the abstract nature and the colorful interplay within the artist’s design.
