Work Description:
|
Bare, unpainted canvas dominates this minimalist painting with the exception of four key forms. The largest of the four is an irregularly-shaped large black form that floats in the top center quadrant of the canvas. Below this form, a smaller, bright red form also hovers amidst the bare canvas background just below center. From the bottom left edge, a small yellow bolt of pigment appears near the left corner just to the left of a taller, thinner white lifeline which rises before abruptly ending about a fifth of the way up the composition.
