Mary Heilmann

Jellyfish

Mary Heilmann's *Jellyfish* is an oil and gesso work on paper that reflects the artist's signature blend of abstraction and playful, intuitive color. Fluid, organic forms suggest the translucent drift of jellyfish through water, rendered with Heilmann's characteristically loose and expressive brushwork. The work captures her ability to balance spontaneity with a keen sense of color relationships and compositional rhythm.
