A single black form sweeps down through the center of this original abstract painting, a solid form, in contrast to the swift strokes behind. Layers of white and black brushwork provide the atmosphere, with horizontal strokes pushing in from both edges like wind against a moving body. Scattered points of dark and light, along with small flecks of gold, hold the surface together. This is gestural abstraction built on momentum. The result is a painting that holds tension between structure and motion: the rings give it architecture, the central stroke gives it force.
 
This piece rewards long looking. Up close, scratched white marks and stippled dots reveal how the surface was built layer by layer; from across the room, it reads as one decisive gesture.
