DescriptionAbstract painting built up of multiple, heavily impastoed paint layers. White is dominant in periphery, black is dominant in centrally configured shape. Central shape is symmetrical and generally rectangular with three triangular protuberances at top, creating a crown-like form. Below mid-line of shape are inset two smaller, white rectangles also symmetrically placed - one at left, one at right. Two white triangular areas intrude from periphery into base line of shape.
