Violet Rush, Glowing Ribbed Abstract

A dark, close-up abstract image of glowing, ribbed forms in white, purple and magenta sweeping in curved lines across the centre. Warm orange reflections fill the upper left and blurred pink lights glow at the right. The surface looks glassy and streaked, with sharp highlights against deep black shadow.

A stranger scrolling past sees a dark frame lit from inside: ribbed white, violet and magenta ridges sweep up toward a tilted dome, with orange glints in one corner and soft pink light on the other side. It reads as a shell, a wing or a length of drapery, and it never settles into one thing. The black ground and the strong diagonal make it dramatic without being busy. Someone with a finished room and one blank wall can picture it there at once. Many abstracts are colourful. Few have this combination of deep black, a glowing sharp-edged form and a clear direction of movement.
