| Description: |
The dominant angularity and horizontality in this painting,
despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance,
create in the mind
single-axis asymmetric soft,
closed signs with inner and outer crossings...
Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch
march across
the
vastness
of this image.
Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create strong gestalt sensations.
``What does it all mean? I have little idea... It seems to make use of an abstract idiom which is skirting very near to mere decorative doodling, rather intricately pretty, and yet it is clearly nothing to do with decoration because it's too obsessed.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.232] |
