Black and White 2
2004
This oil painting presents a minimalist landscape composition dominated by horizontal bands of color and gestural brushwork. A calm body of water occupies the center, rendered in pale gray and white tones with subtle blue accents that suggest reflections or movement. Dark foliage and vegetation appear silhouetted against the sky in the upper portion, while a simplified architectural form or structure is suggested on the right side. The work demonstrates a modernist approach to landscape representation, emphasizing color relationships and painterly technique over naturalistic detail.
