Gregory Amenoff

Thorax
1987

Abstract expressionist painting featuring bold, black brush strokes that create a central, tree-like form with a dynamic sense of movement. The background consists of broad swaths of white, yellow, and green, with hints of red at the top, suggesting a landscape or sunset. The painting has a raw, energetic quality with visible layering of paint and expressive lines.
