KAKAKA

1972

This vibrant 1972 acrylic work presents a bold geometric composition featuring a stylized head in profile. The figure is rendered in warm and cool tones, with a luminous orange rectangular form dominating the interior space, framed by a white border. The outer form transitions through layers of teal, purple, and yellow ochre against a striking red background. Small green marks suggest landscape elements within the composition. The piece exemplifies mid-century abstract figurative practice with its use of flat color fields and simplified forms.
