Rachel Jones — A Sliced Tooth
Rachel Jones

A Sliced Tooth

2020

This abstract composition employs layered gestural marks and vibrant color fields to create a dynamic, fragmented visual field. Bold strokes in red, black, pink, and yellow overlap across the canvas, suggesting forms that resist singular interpretation. The work demonstrates expressive brushwork and a complex interplay between figuration and abstraction, with organic and geometric elements competing for visual attention. The densely packed composition creates a sense of movement and emotional intensity through its chromatic intensity and mark making.

Medium
oil, oilstick and oil pastel on canvas
