Delos Van Earl — Lightning Rounds (16″ diameter)
Delos Van Earl

Lightning Rounds (16″ diameter)

2018

This vibrant wall mounted series comprises nine circular steel discs, each 16 inches in diameter, painted with bold geometric divisions in saturated oil enamel. The palette spans primary colors including cobalt blue, crimson red, chartreuse green, golden yellow, and deep plum, applied in intersecting diagonal and angular strokes that create dynamic movement across each polished steel surface. The compositions suggest abstracted totemic or animal forms rendered through modernist color fields and stylized silhouettes, characteristic of Van Earl's approach to transforming industrial materials into expressive sculptural statements. The glossy enamel finish catches light distinctly, emphasizing the sculptural presence of each disc and the carefully calibrated color relationships between adjacent works.
