A powerful example of Kazuo Shiraga's signature gestural abstraction, this painting features explosive, thickly impastoed swirls of crimson and deep red oil paint against a white ground, created through his iconic foot-painting technique. The visceral energy and violent physicality of the brushwork embody the Gutai group's radical emphasis on the direct encounter between body and material. The artist's signature in Japanese characters is visible at lower left, and the work exemplifies Shiraga's mature period of monochromatic intensity.
