Work Description:
|
Jagged forms in crimson red pigment bursts into the composition from the right edge, working its way over the center. Vertical, lanky black forms run from bottom right edge reaching up towards the top edge at right. Bare canvas surrounds these two primarily forms and fills the rest of the composition. A tiny form in orange hovers to the top right of the black forms, drawing attention to the pale white form just peeking into the scene from the upper right edge. A small burst of yellow sits atop the red form, drawing the viewer's eye up to the last form in the painting, which is a dark mottled green form sitting along the top edge left of center.
