“Untitled (SFP94-41, SFF.1716)” is a creation by artist Sam Francis, painted in the year 1994. The medium employed is acrylic on canvas, and the artwork is an exemplar of the Abstract Expressionism movement, fitting squarely within the abstract genre.
The artwork demonstrates a vibrant and expansive use of color, characteristic of Francis’s style, with bold splashes and drips that create a sense of spontaneity and dynamic motion. The canvas is densely populated with patches of color that seem to float against a lighter background, conveying a profound depth and fluid energy. The composition utilizes contrasts of bright, luminous hues alongside darker, more subdued tones, harmonizing them to evoke an intense visual impact. This piece embodies the essence of abstract expressionism, focusing on the emotional and expressive potential of color and form rather than representational accuracy.
