Pink Filigree - Mirrored Abstract on Black

A mirrored abstract design in vivid pink and magenta, with lilac scroll shapes and pale oval spots in each corner. At the center, silky grey-mauve forms and deep burgundy openings meet along a thin horizontal line. The whole shape floats on a solid black background.

A collector wants this piece for its hot pink, which glows against pure black, and for its perfectly mirrored, ornamental shape. Many pink abstracts are loose washes or busy all-over patterns. This one is a single formal object. A wavy-edged shape made of mosaic-like pink dabs floats on solid black, with scrolling lilac curves, pale glowing ovals and satiny silver-mauve forms at the center. It is bold and decorative, and it is symmetrical in a way that feels deliberate and a little theatrical. Attraction to the colour and the pattern is reason enough to want it.
