Reflections
Completed in the early 1970s, Reflections originally hung in the boardroom of Mazda cars. It presents an extraordinary early example of the pioneering work Neiland made in his spray-gun process, first developed during student days at the Royal College of Art. Across the bonnet of a sports car, a blue sky with wisps of white cloud bends and refracts, distorting over the curved metal surface. Above, a sandy building melts into a Dali-esque desert; the surrounding sky becomes a Surrealist sea.
Neiland has spoken of his love of reflections, where grid lines and industrial exactness balance the warp of light across their planes in a ‘play between the structured and the free’. Here, brutalist concrete dissolves into dream-land oasis – an example of the strangeness to be found on even the most ordered of urban surfaces.
