Presented as a group of four, these works explore striking shifts in colour and atmosphere. The first two compositions are charged with warm, energetic passages of orange, yellow and green, while the latter pair moves into a cooler, more meditative field of deep blues. Despite these contrasting palettes, the works share a strong sense of visual movement, with densely layered marks creating surfaces that seem to pulse andexpand beyond their compact format.
The circular forms suspended within each composition act as quiet points of focus amid the surrounding activity, creating a compelling balance between stillness and motion. Viewed together, the four works form a varied yet cohesive ensemble, moving from vibrant warmth to cooler, more subdued tones while maintaining a consistent sense of depth, rhythm and atmosphere.
