The artwork titled “Mirage Study #14” was created by Larry Bell in 1988. It is associated with the art movement known as Post-Painterly Abstraction and belongs to the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a dynamic composition characterized by intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Interwoven lines of black, red, yellow, and blue, which create a sense of movement and depth, dominate the canvas. These lines are situated against a background of various shades of gray and a slight presence of pink. A significant feature is a triangular section that appears to peel away, revealing a different texture beneath, hinting at layers and the complexity of perception. Adjacent to this, a bold presence of black shape stands out, contrasting sharply with the multicolored elements and adding a dramatic focal point to the piece. Overall, the artwork exudes a sense of spontaneity and fluidity, emblematic of the Post-Painterly Abstraction movement.
