The composition blends precise design with organic elements, with color and proportion variations disrupting the grid, reminiscent of the works of Sol de Wit, Richard P. Lohse, Kenneth Noland, and Ellsworth Kelly. Thick oil paint adds texture, giving the painting a tactile surface that changes with light and perspective.

Architectural in style, the piece balances rigid structure with fluid variation, evoking the logic of built forms through color and texture. 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, ideal for collectors of contemporary architectural art, abstract paintings, and works influenced by minimalist and color field artists.
