The artwork, titled “Untitled SFP84-305/SFP86-497,” was created by the artist Sam Francis circa 1984. It is an acrylic painting on canvas, measuring 5 x 8 cm. This piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement and is categorized as abstract in genre.
The artwork consists of dynamic splashes of color, creating a vibrant and visually striking composition. The use of acrylic paint allows for bold and expressive brushstrokes, emphasizing the dynamic interplay of color. The abstract nature of the painting invites viewers to interpret the forms and colors subjectively, each experience unique to the observer. The small dimensions of 5 x 8 cm make the intensity of the colors and composition even more concentrated, engaging the viewer in close examination. The work is representative of Sam Francis’s exploration of color relations and abstract forms, characteristic of the Color Field Painting movement.
