Kim MacConnel

Formidable
1981

A vibrant and colorful abstract painting divided into four panels, each with its own distinct pattern and color scheme. The first panel features curvy lines and shapes in yellow, green, and pink. The second panel has red and white patterns resembling tribal markings. The third panel depicts a stylized black and white figure against a red background. The fourth panel shows a geometric pattern with overlapping lines in blue, yellow, and pink. The artwork has a playful and energetic feel, with a mix of organic and geometric forms.
