Description: The ultimate exploration of a geometric motif from a mosaic at the Alhambra in Granada, Colour Shower 2 splashes out on a bold format. Raindrops in all the colours of the rainbow contrast sharply with the shaded grey background; they produce an unending optical movement in four directions, achieved using simple geometric shapes that have been clearly and sleekly assembled.
