Constant's ostensibly simple abstract is achieved through a highly structured technique and finish, balancing and repeating grid-like constructions and elements to create echoes and repetitions that play with notions of surface and depth, underpinned by a dramatic but limited palette. This work was included in Hervé Constant's 1995 exhibition As Above... So Below at Ben Uri Gallery, curated by Julia Weiner, who observed of his abstracts that, 'Rather than offering the viewer easy solutions to how his paintings should be read, Contant encourages one to study his works independently and find one's own meaning'. The artist himself later described the work as 'a spiritual painting' expressing his feelings about Christianity with the central square representing the coming together of God and Jesus.
