Work Description:
|
A thick, matte black pigment coats this entire canvas with the exception of several tiny irregularities. A dark charcoal gray form lies along the bottom edge starting at the bottom left corner and running horizontally over to the right where it abruptly ends before hitting the bottom right corner. A thin cobalt blue streak runs parallel to the left edge, beginning near the top edge and running about halfway down the canvas. Directly to the left of this blue line, a minuscule red flash sits on the far left center edge of the composition, hinting that there is more activity beyond the edge of the canvas.
