Brighton-based artist Clive Sefton is known for his word search prints: typographically beautiful pieces with an interactive element, inviting the viewer to scour the print for hidden words and phrases. Sefton enjoys the element of fun, but his work also engages with the possibility of finding something new in an image, on every viewing.
‘Life’ features 42 concentric mirrored circles that involve the viewer as they catch themselves, reflected and refracted, in the strips.
Deeply symbolic, the rings resemble the life rings of a tree or the gentle ripples in a pool, while the number of circles is heavy with allusion: in Kabbalistic tradition, 42 is said to be the number with which God created the Universe and, more recently, sci-fi writer Douglas Adams famously endowed it with significance, as the “answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.”
Sefton has produced a remarkably beautiful piece of art: a textural and shimmering graphic design set against a white background, fusing futuristic minimalism with a retro pattern.
