Although Trevor Bell was living and working in St Ives when he created this work, much of his inspiration was drawn from the colours and textures of the Italian landscape experienced during his Government Scholarship awarded in 1958. Bell plays with the immersive power of colour in Red, Black and Intensities with crimson pigment dominating the visual field. The work references his earlier experimentation with swathes of sombre colour and refines his use of black.
