Subject

Two women in an abstracted background

Description

Two women form the central focus of this composition; one sits upright while the other reclines, eyes closed, resting on the shoulder of the other. The female figures are rendered without great detail, relying on basic organic shapes composed together to recall the human form. The remainder of the composition is totally abstracted with triangle and square configurations making up the flattened backdrop. The color palette of this piece is bright and varied.
