Lot Note:
The Illusion of Red, Yellow and Blue in Space No. 2 is a densely composed dot painting, a thrilling example of the final period in Vance Kirkland’s artistic career. Amorphous sinuous forms emerge from a seemingly scattered but carefully crafted web of dots applied to the canvas with wooden dowels. As the larger shapes bloom and swirl, the dots add texture and dimension to the work, popping out of the painted surface. In a coherent and organic arrangement of warm and brilliant colors, the painting exudes chromatic vibrancy and vivacious design. Often described as a visionary, Kirkland came to embrace the cosmos as a tantalizing aesthetic subject and sought to convey its infinite and perennial qualities through innovative imagery.
Framed: 42 1/2 x 42 1/2 inches.
In overall excellent original condition. UV: nothing remarkable. Additional images available upon request.
