Thomas Yeo’s “Upright Composition,” created between 1958 and 1960, stands as a testament to the artist’s innovative approach to abstract art during this period. This dynamic piece encapsulates the spirit of mid-20th-century abstraction, characterized by its bold use of color, geometric forms, and dynamic composition. At first glance, “Upright Composition” arrests the viewer’s attention with its striking juxtaposition of vibrant hues and assertive lines. Yeo’s confident brushwork imbues the canvas with a sense of energy and movement, inviting the eye to travel across its surface in a dance of form and colour.
