Work Description:
|
A dark brown (almost black) pigment nearly fills the entire composition. A white swirling form rises into the scene from the bottom edge and reaches up along the left edge until it leaves the top edge of the canvas beneath a small blood-red vertical shape. Gray and black pigment zig-zag and mingle along the left edge of this white shape, framing the left side of the composition. Another white arm reaches from the top right edge of the composition down into the brown-black field, while another gray-brown region sits in the top right corner. Amidst these fiery shapes, a bold ochre two-legged figure dominates the center of the scene.
