"Triangle, Square, Ellipse"

1981

This 1981 screen print presents three geometric figures arranged horizontally against a vibrant green background. Each form, an ellipse, square, and triangle, is rendered in bold black silhouettes with tan and beige lower sections, creating a sense of stability and grounding. Small circular apertures at the top of each shape reveal a gradient sky, suggesting depth and dimension within the simplified composition. The work exemplifies the Constructivist approach to abstraction, reducing complex forms to their essential geometric elements while maintaining visual harmony through color and proportion.
