One colour is often given even greater resonance by its proximity to another. Sometimes complementary, sometimes clashing, the effect of placing one colour against another at times echoes this central aspect of Bridget Riley's exploration of colour. The result in Greaves's painting is especially vibrant in paintings in which he introduces closely painted dots of colour which dance across Landscape with Conifers (2000-01).
