The artwork titled “Oriental Garden Concerto,” crafted by Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1976, belongs to the Color Field Painting art movement and falls under the abstract genre.
The artwork presents a mesmerizing visual experience rendered through the use of dynamic patterns and vivid colors. Predominantly, the composition features an array of fragmented geometric shapes in black, scattered across a vibrant yellow background. These shapes vary in size and orientation, creating an intricate labyrinth of forms that seem to dance across the canvas. The juxtaposition of the stark black elements against the cheerful yellow backdrop generates a sense of movement and rhythm, evocative of a musical composition. This abstract piece invites viewers to engage with its playful and energetic essence, allowing for myriad interpretations grounded in its bold simplicity.
