Work Description:
|
A single yellowish ocher figure is depicted at the center of the composition. Its abstracted form rises in front of a pale yellow and white background, from which it is separated by thick brown outlines. A purple disk rises in the figure's center. The entire scene is dominated by thick, manic strokes, creating a hectic swarm of shapes that seem to vibrate on the canvas' surface.
