Work Description:
|
This painting is composed primarily of two large orb-like shapes, one floating above the other. The larger of the forms is painted a flat ocher color and sits near the bottom of the work. The smaller form is rendered in deep red and floats at top center. A small, bright yellow shape overlaps the top edge of the ocher form, and several small dashes of vermillion red highlight the crimson form. Several white streaks are painted along the left edge and right edge of the canvas, grounding the two floating forms in the center.
