A bold abstract painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). This piece is composed of red on top and tan below. A fold between the two sections creates literal depth, with a "hidden" section. Both sections have accents of dripped and splattered paint, with gold on the top and red below, the inverse of the background.

Unsigned, but acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
Presented in a new grey mat.
Mat size: 24"H x 20"W
Paper size: 16"H x 12"W
