Work Description:
|
Forms rendered in yellow, acid-green, ocher, and chalky blue rise into a to swirling environment of black, brown, crimson and gold. The largest of the forms rises from the bottom center quadrant into the darkest areas of the composition, its head cresting into a white wave-like shape just left of top center. The right half of the composition is composed primarily in grays, yellows, and whites, juxtaposing the dark, murky scene on the left. Vertical forms in black rise into this lighter area, supported by crimson forms at the bottom right corner.
