Below

"Below" exemplifies Color field painting, a style that emerged in mid-20th-century New York emphasizing large, flat expanses of color spread across the canvas. The work eschews traditional brushwork and gesture, focusing instead on creating a flat picture plane where color becomes the primary subject. Its minimalistic, abstract approach aligns with the movement’s desire to free color from objective context. While rooted in abstract expressionism, it also shares affinities with Lyrical abstraction for its emphasis on emotional expression through layered color fields.
