Work Description:
|
A yellow form emerges from the right side of the canvas, encroaching towards the center of the canvas. It attaches to a blackish-blue form, vertically encompassing the entire middle of the work. A red lifeline passages through the darkness. A brown form enters the composition from the top left corner of the work, with splashes of orange paint interrupting its solidity. From the bottom left corner, a gray form reaches upwards, with a smoke-like, atmospheric quality. The forms are supported by the whiteness of the background, allowing the vibrancy of the colors to shine.
