After Sam Francis — Blue Balls
After Sam Francis

Blue Balls

A vibrant digital pigment print reproducing Sam Francis's 1960 painting, this work bursts with luminous orbs of deep blue set against a stark white ground, evoking the artist's signature gestural energy and dynamic interplay of color and space. The composition reflects Francis's fascination with the expressive potential of color, with richly saturated forms that seem to float and collide across the surface. Numbered 21/299 in gold marker, this limited edition print on wove paper faithfully translates the spontaneous vitality of the original work into a precisely rendered reproductive format.
