- Description
A powerfully dynamic abstract work exploring the concept of sign systems. The artist skillfully combines a strict geometric division of the ground into color fields with a chaotic, vibrating web of dripping. Over silver-gray, deep blue and green planes are applied expressive runs and splashes of bright yellow and red-brown pigments. The work is distinguished by an expressive impasto texture.
- Marks
On the reverse of the canvas is an original extended signature, date and title of the painting in Japanese and French: “Sign” / 「記号」 / Signe.
