About this work

This abstract painting is made up of eight panels, each with its own unique texture and pattern. The dominant colors are black and white, with splashes of blue and green. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, giving the piece a dynamic energy. The painting's surface is rough and textured, with visible ridges and grooves. In some areas, the paint is thick and impasto, while in others it's smooth and flat. The overall effect is one of depth and dimensionality, as if the painting is reaching out to the viewer. If you like this piece, you might also enjoy the work of artist Jack Whitten.
