Jack Bush’s upbeat abstracts are primarily concerned with issues of colour, and in this regard he is a fine master. Here, with this lively, controlled, yet about to spring off the picture plane image, we can see his ability in spades. The ground has been sponged on - a certain shade of yellow, mottled and organic, it is deeply layered yet seems thin. Against this ground, the angled, crossing form is rendered in three colours vertically and two horizontally. This form crosses, cuts and flies against the yellow-gold ground, caught in space, still yet moving, alive and vibrant.

Painted in July of 1974, Cross Over is the original work for a run of serigraphs produced by Theo Waddington, and as a result is signed on verso. Without the distraction of anything at all in the margins of this lovely work, it seems, somehow, to be even more free than its soaring forms already suggest. The Tate Britain in London has a Cross Over serigraph in their collection.

This work will be included in Sarah Stanners’s forthcoming Jack Bush Paintings: A Catalogue Raisonné.
