A dynamic composition of fragmented geometric forms and bold color fields, Cordy Ryman's *Stars* showcases his signature approach of layering acrylic paint across mixed media surfaces to create tension between structure and spontaneity. Jagged, angular shapes emerge and recede across the picture plane, evoking a raw, almost architectural energy. Ryman's deliberate mark-making and restrained yet vivid palette celebrate the physical materiality of paint itself.
