Delos Van Earl — Lemon Lime
Delos Van Earl

Lemon Lime

2018

Three monumental painted steel panels form a triptych of bold vertical composition, their surfaces alive with vibrant stripes of yellow, lime green, black, and white. The oil enamel finish creates a lustrous, industrial surface that catches light across geometric bands of varying widths, evoking a totemic presence without literal representation. The stacked rectangular forms suggest a stylized creature or abstract animal viewed frontally, its blocky silhouette reminiscent of modernist totem poles. Van Earl's characteristic approach transforms utilitarian steel into expressive sculptural form through the interplay of saturated color and stark geometric division. The work embodies the playful yet formal vocabulary of the CREATURES series, where primitive spiritual forms meet contemporary abstraction.
