Observations
Across all four works, saturated pinks, oranges, reds, blues, greens, and yellows are layered through broad painted masses, drips, splatters, and dense fine scribbles. The compositions remain nonrepresentational, combining energetic gestural movement with recurring outlined fragments, looping marks, and partially geometric color blocks on pale grounds.
