Geometric shapes, some sharp-edged, others blurred, provide the pictorial
interplay of tension and release, stability and action, upward and sideward
– all within a square canvas. Rough and soft textures echo the shapes and
colors at variance, with the dominant color at the left (green) bobbing up in
a minified but significant presence, as the right side (blue) releases a portion
of its color at the left side to “tie-up” the synergy of different colors.
This painting carries no recognition outside the natural referent, for the
shapes and colors are a distillation of abstract realities.
