Subdued 1 is an elegant nod to the early work of American Abstract painter Adolph Gottlieb. Through biomorphic forms, abstract symbols, and dream-like imagery, a highly complex scene unfolds across the canvas. Upon initial view, the gaze is drawn toward a centralized, abstract figure. Above, a swooping curve in grey cloud leads down to symbolic imagery in muted tones of french and slate greys before being expertly blurred against a background of grey, iron, and storm dust. A remarkable and distinctive work of art on canvas, Subdued 1 is an exquisite addition to ART by TA.
