Description
-
This abstract, gestural composition consists of thick, black paint applied directly to and smeared across a white background using the artist's hands and brushes, creating a chaotic mass of sweeping, intersecting strokes, curves, and daubs. Etched into the impasto surface are forceful, parallel, finger-strokes. Chunks of coagulated paint add a sculptural character to the work.

Inscriptions

Condition
-
Discolouration. Brown patches around some of the strokes. Serious craquelure. Serious flaking, especially along the top edge and at the corners where the paint has peeled off to reveal the bare canvas beneath. Some impasto strokes at risk of flaking off. Handle with care. Dust and dirt. Buckling.
