Acrylic on canvas. 30 × 40.
THIS PAINTING IS CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY AT THE BOB MACQUARRIE RECREATION COMPLEX, 1490 YOUVILLE DRIVE, ORLEANS
This painting is a vibrant abstract expressionist work in the style of Jackson Pollock's famous drip technique. It features a bold, solid red background that dominates the canvas, creating an intense and energetic foundation.
Over this red field, thick layers of black and white paint are dripped, poured, and splattered in chaotic, intertwining lines and strands. The black lines are bold and prominent, weaving across the surface with varying thickness—some forming heavy, glossy drips that pool slightly, others thinner and more linear. The white paint adds contrast, with raised, textured trails that loop, curl, and overlap the black, creating a sense of depth and movement.
The overall composition is non-representational, with no clear figures or objects; instead, it emphasizes rhythm, gesture, and spontaneity. The raised, three-dimensional quality of the paint suggests it was applied generously, possibly directly from the tube or with tools to achieve the dripping effect.
This style evokes the action painting of mid-20th-century Abstract Expressionism, where the physical act of painting becomes the subject itself—full of dynamism, emotion, and raw energy.
