Lawrence Calcagno — Dark Sunbands
Lawrence Calcagno

Dark Sunbands

1968

Lawrence Calcagno's *Dark Sunbands* is a mixed media work on paper that reflects the artist's signature approach to abstract expressionism, layering rich, atmospheric tones to evoke a sense of primal landscape and light. Deep, resonant bands of color move across the composition, suggesting the tension between darkness and radiance, shadow and illumination. The work captures Calcagno's enduring fascination with nature's elemental forces, rendered through fluid, gestural mark-making that balances spontaneity with quiet contemplation.
