One for the Singing in the Rain fans — a rainbow depicted with silver socks, which is exactly the kind of warmly absurd detail that runs through Newton’s work at its best. The silver foil is hand-applied after the screened colour layers, and the positives for all of those layers are cut from paper by hand.
The silver rather than gold finish gives this piece a cooler, more shimmery quality that suits the rain-and-sunshine subject matter. It’s one of his more literarily-minded pieces, if a rainbow in socks can be described that way.
