Untitled
1986
A vibrant burst of gestural abstraction, this untitled work by Sam Francis showcases his signature language of luminous color and spontaneous mark-making rendered in acrylic on paper. Pools and splashes of vivid hues radiate across the surface, punctuated by open areas of white that create a dynamic tension between presence and void. Created in 1986, the work reflects Francis's enduring engagement with light, movement, and the expressive potential of color.
