Forming a series of six vibrant and dynamic prints, Stella’s famous 'Sinjerli Variations' are inspired by the circular ancient city of Sinjerli in Asia Minor. Combining lithography and screenprinting, the circular forms of the composition are created through interlacing arcs—or protractors—with pulsating bands of colour. Despite the rigid geometry that appears to remove spatial depth, the colours are not flat but feature a textured and ‘crayon-like’ quality. This dynamism is further amplified through the varied colour combinations that are at times harmonious and at other times discordant. Each work from the edition of 100 was printed by Petersburg Press, New York and signed by the artist in pencil in the lower right corner.
