Orange Order
A vibrant and meticulously crafted work by pioneering British Pop artist Richard Hamilton, *Orange Order* combines the photographic precision of Cibachrome printing with the tactile intimacy of hand-applied Humbrol enamel paint. The interplay between mechanical reproduction and manual intervention reflects Hamilton's enduring fascination with the boundaries between commercial image-making and fine art. The rich, luminous surface achieved through the Cibachrome process is animated further by Hamilton's delicate hand-colouring, lending the work a singular, hybrid quality that challenges conventional distinctions between photography and painting.
