Work Description:
|
A large, blocky cobalt blue form fills the center and bottom right quadrants, though a region along the bottom right edge has been left unpainted. Tiny shocks of cornflower blue are sprinkled near the bottom right corner amidst the cobalt. Tall, sinewy black forms merge and rise together from the bottom left corner up along the left edge until they fade and run off the top edge. Tiny streaks of red intermingle with the black strokes near the top left quadrant, and a similarly thin white dagger-like form enters the scene from the top left edge just to the left of the black form. The rest of the composition has been left unpainted.
