"Staccato (Diptych)" by Fabienne Verdier is a two part oil and pigment composition on canvas mounted on panel that employs the artist's characteristic gestural abstraction. The work's title references the musical term for short, disconnected notes, suggesting a visual rhythm created through fragmented brushwork and dynamic mark making. Verdier's layering of pigments and oils creates a luminous surface that oscillates between spontaneity and control, demonstrating her synthesis of Western abstract expressionism with techniques influenced by Chinese painting traditions.
