Larry Poons

Andover Sirius 86A-1

1986

A dynamic and energetic composition, Larry Poons' *Andover Sirius 86A-1* showcases his signature technique of layering and pouring acrylic paint to create a richly textured, almost geological surface. Created in 1986, the work reflects Poons' evolution away from his earlier Op Art style toward a more gestural and materially complex approach. The built-up layers of acrylic and mixed media produce a sense of depth and spontaneous movement, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of color and form across the canvas.
