Sarah Morris — Vertical Power Station
Sarah Morris

Vertical Power Station

2016

Sarah Morris's *Vertical Power Station* is a dynamic composition that reflects the artist's signature geometric abstraction, employing bold, graphic forms and a vibrant color palette to evoke the rhythms of urban architecture and systems of power. The work draws on Morris's longstanding investigation into the structures and codes that govern modern cities and institutions, translating their logic into a visually arresting, almost diagrammatic language. The painting commands attention through its precise, hard-edged execution, balancing tension and order in a way that is both analytically rigorous and visually seductive.
