The artwork, titled “Untitled (SFP94-49, SFF.1723),” was created by the artist Sam Francis in the year 1994. Executed in acrylic on canvas, this piece belongs to the Abstract Expressionism movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
The artwork exemplifies the dynamic and expressive qualities characteristic of Abstract Expressionism. Rich in color and texture, it showcases Francis’s mastery in manipulating acrylics to form a vibrant, non-representational composition. The bold, gestural brushstrokes intermingle with areas of splattered paint, creating an energetic visual experience. As is common in Francis’s works, there is an emphasis on spontaneity and an evident appreciation for the physical act of painting itself. The interplay of colors and forms appears spontaneous yet deliberate, inviting viewers to interpret its emotional and aesthetic nuances from a personal perspective.
