The Rays
16 × 40. Acrylic on canvas. Gallery Wrap
This painting is a minimalist, abstract piece with a striking use of colour and form against a deep blue background. The composition features two tall, vertical forms that dominate the canvas, each with a circular, scribbled shape at the top and a dripping line extending downward. The background is a solid, rich blue, which creates a sense of depth and calm, evoking the feeling of a night sky or a deep body of water.
The two vertical forms are painted with a combination of colours, primarily black, red, and yellow, with some white accents. At the top of each form, the circular shapes are created with energetic, scribbled brushstrokes, giving them a sense of motion and chaos, as if they are bursts of energy or light. From these circular forms, thin lines of paint drip downward, with the left form featuring a mix of red and black drips, and the right form showing more yellow and red drips. The drips are uneven and organic, suggesting a spontaneous, gravity-driven application of paint, similar to the drip techniques used by artists like Jackson Pollock.
At the bottom of the canvas, the drips merge into a textured, abstract base that spans the width of the painting. This area is darker, with a mix of black, brown, and hints of red and yellow, creating a rough, earthy contrast to the smooth blue background. The base could be interpreted as a ground or foundation, grounding the tall, ethereal forms above it.
The overall effect of the painting is both minimalistic and expressive, with the simplicity of the composition—two forms against a solid background—contrasted by the dynamic, gestural application of paint. The deep blue background adds a sense of mystery and contemplation, while the vibrant colours of the forms and their dripping lines inject energy and movement. The painting could be interpreted as a representation of two figures, streetlights, or even abstract symbols of connection or growth, rising from a chaotic base into a vast, serene space. The style blends elements of Abstract Expressionism with a more restrained, symbolic approach, inviting the viewer to find their own meaning in the forms and colours.
