Curator’s Comment:  

 

I’m unsure of the media of this image- it appears to be signed like a print, and has some hard edged stencil-oriented characteristics.  The high chroma color throughout the piece adds a vibrant tension, but the strong symmetry organizes what could otherwise be a discordant clash of temperature; as contrasting red, blue, violet and yellow compete for attention and emphasis. The scratched through black area provides a central area of rest and stability, while the adjoining red shapes pull like arrows in opposing vertical directions. I also like to see the textural variation, as smooth blended transitions of color along the sides give way to the streaky blue interior bands. Like all of your pieces displayed on the site, there’s a lot going on in the intense array of color and shape.
