James Brown

Blue Coral (Giallo di Napoli)
1987

A painting on a brownish paper depicting a series of blue, abstract shapes that resemble tree branches or limbs, with some areas appearing to drip as if the paint is still wet. The composition is dynamic, with the forms stretching across the page in various directions, creating a sense of movement.
