Artwork Description

Marble Palace

0.0 x 0.0

36" x 46". Oil on canvas. Parts of a city where middle-class houses are coming up are often littered with shops selling granite and marble slabs of various shapes. The slabs lean against each other outside, inviting passersby. It’s a study in how a line can travel in an abstract painting, hinting at parallels in another plane, perhaps in another colour. Together they fall within the essential form that commands the whole painting and create surfaces that speak to each other. The blue and white plays tricks with the warmer colours around, defying them. But the green? That’s surely a dare – a colour that doesn’t belong with the rest of them and is not allowed to fill a complete form.
