Work Description:
|
A deep ominous black fills the lower and right areas of this complicated composition. A multi-faceted form enters from the top left and sweeps down and to the right into the black void. At the left edge, this form is composed of deep purple, lilac and red. This area is surrounded by a dark denim-blue. A fiery cobalt form surrounded by a thin perimeter of white paint floats amidst this form, bordering the purple and blue just below and left of center. The darkness that fills the majority of painting is contrasted by a tall, thin, bright yellow field running along the right edge from top to bottom. A shot of orange-red shoots in the yellow near the bottom.
