DescriptionThe Evil Twin is a vertically oriented abstract composition. The paper support is almost entirely covered by paint in several colors. Cherry-red strokes outline many adjacent and interweaving shapes and areas throughout the composition. Two areas of lemon yellow are located near the center of the composition, and that yellow appears in smaller amounts in several other places. Areas of cerulean blue, white, and magenta are also present throughout the composition. Large gray areas appear toward the edges of the paper support. Black paint strokes, narrow in most instances, are applied on and around many of the areas of color already described. The various colors mix where they meet in many instances.Exhibition HistoryNone
