Ember Scrolls, Four-Way Symmetrical Abstract

A horizontal abstract design of four mirrored cream scroll shapes outlined in black, each holding a swirling orange form. Between them is an olive-green cross-shaped center, and the edges are framed in deep red, brown and dark green. The warm palette and symmetry give it the look of a stained-glass or kaleidoscope pattern.

Someone wants this piece because it is bold, warm and perfectly ordered at once. Four cream scrolls with strong black outlines each hold a glowing, marbled orange form, and they mirror each other around an olive-green cross. It looks like a stained-glass window or a kaleidoscope turned into a wall piece. Most orange or red abstracts are loose and gestural. This one is built, symmetrical and graphic, with liquid swirls moving inside the structure. It suits a buyer who wants colour with a confident pattern, not a soft wash.
