Overview

Spheres is a 1978 print by David DiFrancesco, held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

Subject & Meaning

The print depicts glowing, yellow-orange spherical forms arranged in undulating lines against a soft peach background. The spheres appear to float or rest on the lower edge, creating a sense of depth.

Technique & Style

DiFrancesco employed chiaroscuro to create a sense of volume, with light and shadow accentuating the forms. The soft blending of edges between shapes gives the impression of molten material.
