This painting is the essence of an abstract piece. The canvas is spare and the artist chooses to focus on stark, simple shapes and a simple color palatte that adds a feeling of movement and details that give the original artwork a grace of presentation. The lines here are smooth and cross each other to create a checkerboard effect and travel about the piece with ease and intention. This original canvas painting uses a limited palette of black and shades of grey, yet these colors are dark and intense enough that the piece is not lacking in interest. The painting's bold, distinct blue hues and square shapes are eye catching regardless of where the painting is hung. Even though this canvas seems very straightforward, there are elements that add dimension to the shape, such as the slow descent of the primary colors that fade into the other shades. These carefully planned details accentuate the other things at work in the piece- such as the lines moving seamlessly over the canvas, beyond the edges, but carefully considers the negative spaces in the canvas. The negative space in this piece almost creates another shape that accentuates the other shapes and spaces as well as moves them forward on the canvas on a way that is original and fascinating. This piece is interesting and dynamic and is so forward thinking and far reaching that it can hold it's own in a chaotic living space or in a urban gallery.
The shapes and lines of Shades of Grey are arranged over a single large canvas that is well tailored to the subject matter and intensifies the already wild and freewheeling lines and shapes at work in this piece. The single canvas design that this abstract canvas uses is able to fit into any number of spaces and satisfy the demands of a room that needs a touch of the modern. The canvas is of a good size to become the centerpiece of a wall or room, or an interesting addition to a collection of art.
