About this work

This abstract screenprint features a central shape with a rounded, irregular form, reminiscent of an eye or a mouth. The shape is predominantly red and white, with a blue center that appears to depict a person. The background is a muted greenish-yellow, with a gray sky above. Several lines and shapes extend from the central form, including a long, thin line that ends in a small black circle. In the bottom-right corner, a small, round table with red legs supports a flat surface. A small, dark shape sits on the table. The overall effect is one of dynamic energy and movement. If you're interested in exploring more abstract art, you might want to look up the work of Dorr Bothwell, the artist behind this piece.
