“Mirage Construction #15,” created by artist Larry Bell in 1988, belongs to the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement and falls within the abstract genre. In this artwork, a complex interplay of colors and textures evokes a sense of depth and movement. The central composition is dominated by an ethereal, almost translucent oval form, which contrasts against a dark background. Surrounding this form are dynamic strokes of pastel hues, including pink, yellow, and blue, which seem to dance around the central figure. The brushwork appears both deliberate and spontaneous, creating a composition that is both structured and freeform. Overall, the artwork invites contemplation and interpretation, in line with the abstract ideals of the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement.
