Lantern Wings, Mirrored Abstract in Green and Orange

A horizontal abstract with a mirror-symmetrical layout of cream, rounded shapes outlined in thick black lines. Inside them are oval windows filled with swirling orange, olive and yellow patterns, and small crimson ovals sit beside them. Green wedges extend in from the left and right edges, and a central olive cross shape joins the four quadrants.

Someone wants this piece for the glow. Orange and olive ovals sit inside bold black-outlined cream forms and read like backlit stained glass against flat green. The strict four-way mirror symmetry is the second draw. It gives the wall a steady, ordered centre, while the marbled swirls inside each oval keep the eye moving. In a category full of loose colour washes, this one is built, bold-edged and warm.
