The composition is structured yet fluid, shifting between precision and organic variation, with subtle changes in color and proportion altering the perception of space. Based on a color value system of 20/40/60/80, the stars achieve a sense of depth and harmony, reinforcing the balance between order and variation. Influenced by the works of Sol LeWitt, Richard P. Lohse, Kenneth Noland, and Ellsworth Kelly, the painting combines systematic design with architectural dimensionality. Thick oil paint adds texture, giving the surface a tactile quality that shifts with light and perspective.

Architectural in style, the piece explores the logic of built forms through color and structure. Part of a series by Cincinnati-based architect and interior designer Richard Butz, each work follows a foundational framework with unique deviations in hue and balance, appealing to collectors of contemporary architectural art, abstract paintings, and works influenced by minimalist and color field artists.
