Catalogue note

A dark, rounded form carrying a red glow sits above a flowing mass of blue and cream brushstrokes, read as a wrapped and moving figure. The paint is heavily blurred and gestural, so that body and drapery are indistinguishable, and contrast alone governs the composition. It is an energetic, unresolved passage rather than a described subject.
