- Abstract
'Composition V' is an exemplary piece of Abstract art, showcasing a complex assembly of shapes and colors that provoke thought and emotion. The painting is done using Oil medium, perfectly exploiting the malleability and depth of color that this medium has to offer. The Canvas is filled with intense and explosive design elements that completely abandon the traditional standards of balance and harmony found in more representational art. As is the cornerstone of the Abstract genre, 'Composition V' works to recreate the emotional experience in the viewer through non-representative means.
