About This Artwork
“Black and White” transcends its monochromatic title with bursts of pink, red, and emerald green punctuating the dramatic interplay of dark navy blues and cream whites. Black paint droplets create a rhythmic pattern across the heavily textured surface, while the composition balances chaos with intentional color placement.
