Cry, Cry Again
24 × 18. Acrylic on canvas. Gallery Wrap.
This painting is a striking, minimalist abstract work that uses a limited colour palette and a fluid, dripping technique to create a bold and evocative composition. The background is a stark white, providing a clean canvas that makes the colours and forms stand out with dramatic intensity.
The central element of the painting is a large, sweeping shape that stretches across the upper half of the canvas. This shape is primarily a vivid, solid red, with a smooth, glossy finish that gives it a sense of weight and presence. The red form is bordered by a thick, irregular layer of black, which creates a jagged, textured edge, adding a sense of rawness and energy to the otherwise smooth shape. The black and red together form a curved, wave-like structure that dips and rises across the canvas, resembling a wave, a flame, or perhaps a stylized tongue or wing.
The overall composition is minimalist yet powerful, with the stark contrast between the white background and the bold red and black shape creating a dramatic visual impact. The dripping paint adds an element of impermanence and decay, as if the form is in the process of breaking down or transforming. The painting evokes a range of interpretations—it could be seen as a representation of a natural element like fire or blood, a symbolic depiction of emotion such as passion or anger, or simply an exploration of form, colour, and gravity.
The simplicity of the colour palette and the fluidity of the technique give the painting a raw, visceral quality, inviting the viewer to focus on the emotional and physical qualities of the paint itself. It’s a piece that feels both controlled and chaotic, balancing the deliberate shape of the central form with the unpredictable nature of the drips.
