Title not known (Abbu 8)

Composition with swirling patterns and vibrant colors

In this piece, Faraj Abbu has created a chaotic rendering of line and form synthesized through the use of a contrasting color scheme and repetitive motion. The surging line formations are countered by jagged triangular patterns interwoven into the swirling sections of color. The palette ranges widely featuring one interlocking streak of red that pulls the viewer’s eye around the canvas.
