Condition
This work is in excellent condition overall. The photograph is hinged on the reverse to the backing board. The photograph undulates slightly, due to the artist’s choice of media. The applied pigment retains a rich impastoed surface. There is very minor fading to the colored photo. Framed under Plexiglas.

Catalogue Note
"Almost all the abstract paintings show scenarios, surroundings and landscapes that don’t exist, but they create the impression that they could exist. As though they were photographs of scenarios and regions that had never yet been seen."
