Revolving Love is a set of two screenprints with gloss varnish and embossing, published in a limited edition of 60. Turk describes how the images began as a playful take on Robert Indiana’s iconic LOVE letters (1964-), where the letter ‘O’ begins to topple over, which Turk has exaggerated, creating ‘LOVE’ letters that almost appear to spin 360-degrees.
Printed in two vibrant colourways, Revolving Love creates a dizzying illusion inspired by Op Art, where the letters rotate and pulsate as the complimentary colours oscillate. The button-like shape of each image – enhanced by the high-gloss varnish surface and embossing - can also be seen to reference Gavin Turk’s infamous 1991 degree show sculpture, where he exhibited a glossy ceramic blue heritage plaque titled Cave.
