Absent Mind 1 recalls the work of Joan Miró, the renowned Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist who played an integral role in the 20th-century art world, especially in the development of Surrealism. In this work on paper, abstract shapes and random contour lines offer a unique visual language. A dual-picture plane separated by an implied line offers a contrasting balance between a weightier composition on the right with a minimalist feel on the left. The duality is complemented by an understated color scheme featuring a bone background wash overlayered by heavy brushstrokes in slate, midnight blue, and charcoal. Delicate contour lines add a light touch to the composition. A gracefully balanced composition on textured paper, Absent Mind 1 is a striking addition to ART by TA.
