Midnight Mirror, Red and Blue Symmetrical Abstract

A horizontal abstract image of swirling red, blue and purple shapes mirrored perfectly across the center. Glossy, translucent ribbons overlap against a pale pink background, and a fine painterly texture covers the whole surface. The central forms suggest a symmetrical mask or figure, though nothing is clearly recognizable.

A buyer wants this piece for its strict mirror symmetry and its colour. Red ribbons swirl out from a deep blue and violet core, edged with pale pink. The two halves are identical, so the centre starts to read as a mask or a figure, though nothing is clearly recognizable. Most red-and-blue abstracts are loose and one-sided. This one is calm in structure and rich in colour, and it gives the eye something to work out.
