Description"Apollo" consists of loosely painted vertical bands of yellow, chartreuse, red, pink, orange, lavender, violet, and soft blue, over which Natkin creates patterns with confetti-sized dots and cross-hatchings to achieve the sensation of light, wide color variation, and maky kinds of textural details.
