Two Women on Teal
1996
This ethereal composition depicts two pale-skinned female figures rendered in cool tones against a deep blue background, their heads adorned with elaborate headdresses in red and white. The artist employs a modernist sensibility reminiscent of early 20th-century European avant-garde movements, combining oil painting with gold leaf accents that add luminosity and decorative richness to the composition. The figures' serene, mask-like faces and the gestural quality of the brushwork suggest psychological depth while maintaining an almost spiritual or otherworldly quality. The work exemplifies the regionalist aesthetic of mid-century Cape Cod painters who blended modernist abstraction with figurative representation.
