Love & Sleep
Love & Sleep
The palette here is soft; pale green, grey-blue, dusty pink, with an open white field at the center that gives the painting a lot of air. Against that softness, vivid crimson arrives in drops, arcs, and pooled shapes. The contrast shouldn't work as well as it does, and yet it does completely.
The crimson marks are precise without being controlled. They suggest movement, trajectory, something passing through. The overall feeling is dreamlike but not vague — there's specificity in the marks, attention in every part of the surface. This is a painting that holds its tension quietly.
