From the series In the Shadow of Fire
Acrylic on canvas, triptych
48 × 84 in (overall; three panels, 24, 36 and 24 in wide)
$6,000
Three panels read left to right as a single passage: a white ground overtaken by crackled red, an ember core of scraped red and thrown yellow over a mesh-textured ground, and a final panel gone almost fully dark, broken by heavy built-up relief and lines of orange. Sold as a set.
