Abstract
"Untitled [red, blue]" exemplifies color field painting, a style of abstract art that emphasizes large, flat areas of solid color spread across the canvas. This work features expansive fields of vibrant red and deep blue, creating unbroken surfaces that emphasize the flat picture plane. Unlike abstract expressionism, it minimizes gesture and brushwork, focusing instead on the overall consistency of form and process. The color itself becomes the subject, freed from objective context, aligning with the principles of Lyrical abstraction, where color and form evoke emotional resonance within an abstract framework.
