Terms

DescriptionThis is a horizontally oriented abstract painting with varying shapes which are slightly geometric and also blur together into amorphous shapes in certain areas. The middle of the canvas is predominantly depicted in shades of yellow and orange. Light-gray blues, greens, and purples take up the spaces around the yellow center, and the entire work has a deep blue, almost black, background. While the work is abstract, there are areas which could potentially be figures or faces.Provenance
