Work Description:
|
Thick impastoed black pigment covers the surface of this painting. A bright blue, jagged form rises vertically from the bottom center edge up towards the top center. A thin strip of white pigment runs from top to bottom along the left edge, and a menacing yellow form sits in the top right corner and juts sharply down into the black at its left edge. A small gray figure rises at the bottom edge directly to the right of the blue form.
