Helena

2004

This striking lithograph presents an abstract anthropomorphic composition rendered in deep cobalt blue against a cream background. The work features organic, gestural forms suggesting a stylized human figure with rounded head forms and elongated lower body elements. The layering of bold brushstrokes and print techniques creates a sense of movement and spiritual presence. The piece exemplifies post war abstract expressionism with its emphasis on pure color and form rather than representational detail. The composition balances geometric and organic shapes to create a meditative, almost totemic quality.
