Fan Tango
2018
A fan shaped steel panel painted in vivid oil enamel displays a dynamic composition of overlapping triangular forms in chartreuse green, magenta, jet black, and bright yellow. The geometric planes create a sense of movement and depth across the curved surface, suggesting the stylized silhouette of a creature or totemic figure rendered through modernist abstraction. The steel substrate is shaped into a shallow curved form that projects from the wall, emphasizing the sculptural dimensionality of the work. Van Earl's characteristic use of saturated, contrasting colors and crisp linear divisions creates visual tension between the formal geometric structure and the implied organic subject. The piece exemplifies the artist's approach to transforming animal and creature imagery into bold, color field abstractions in steel.
