Succumb to the mysterious magnetic forces! — Donk’s own instruction for this piece, and the pink foil finish is the mechanism by which that instruction becomes visible. The foil catches and redirects light in ways that are genuinely magnetic: a piece that pulls your eye back repeatedly because it looks different from different positions.
The Sparks series appears in multiple formats across his catalogue — foil editions and standard screen prints, multiple colourways — and the pink foil version is the most conspicuously warm and eye-catching. The mysterious magnetic forces are real in person in a way the photographs don’t quite communicate. Limited edition, signed.
