Description:

This vibrant abstract composition by Carveley explores the dynamic interplay between yellows, oranges, and deep blacks, creating a striking visual contrast. The expressive brushwork and layered application of color lend the painting a textured, gestural quality that aligns with the principles of abstract expressionism.

Darker hues are concentrated toward the center, serving as a focal point, while the colors transition outward to brighter tones, suggesting movement and depth. The structured arrangement of hues forms an almost horizon-like division, subtly guiding the viewer’s gaze across the composition.

Carveley’s intuitive use of color and form generates a sense of tension and energy, making this work an engaging example of late 20th-century abstraction. The contrast between warm, luminous yellows and oranges against the weighty black elements enhances the sense of depth, offering a compelling visual experience.
