In his triptych artwork, ‘RGB’, and through his concept of “Stratachrome,” or layered color, Spriggs investigates the interplay between the three primary colors of the RGB color space: blue and red, green and blue, and red and green. Spriggs defines this exploration of colour in space as ‘Stratachrome’, meaning layered colour.
He engages with the fundamental principles of color theory and the role of technology in shaping our perception of the visual world. These colors are used in digital displays and computer graphics to create a full spectrum of hues. By placing these specific highly saturated colors side by side as 3D columns of colour, Spriggs references the pixel and technology, further emphasizing the relationship between his artwork and the digital realm.
