Work Description:
|
This square-shaped composition is predominantly covered with two shades of a rich blue pigment. The right two-thirds of the canvas are completely filled with a deeper, translucent blue, while a lighter, flatter blue covers the left third of the work. A tall, bright bolt of white shoots up through the center of the lighter blue, and a matte black form hovers along the top left corner and runs down along the left edge. A smaller turquoise form with a tiny dab of red is visible amidst the black along the left edge just above center.
