Work Description:
|
Black forms invade the original canvas on all four sides, emerging with a jagged prowess. A vertical line of white paint surfaces from the bottom center of the work, coming close to the black paint, but never overlapping. Accents of blue, orange, white, and yellow mingle with the black forms, swirling and piecing together with a graceful quality. A thin red line shoots across the blank canvas at the bottom left corner, adding a sharpness to the amorphous work. The colorful splashes of paint give the canvas vibrancy and texture.
