The composition explores spatial tension and balance through layered abstraction. Soft-edged ovals in blues and greens cluster at the composition’s center, floating within a field of overlapping geometric forms—most notably a bold red square and a shadowy, angular block. The contrast between fluid, organic shapes and rigid structures creates a dialogue between motion and containment. Surrounding the central image is a meticulously stippled pen-and-ink border that offers a quiet, meditative texture. This work exemplifies VerBurg’s deft merging of geometry and gesture, emotion and form. From a private collection. Dimensions: 30.75 inches tall, 25.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep (framed). In excellent condition.
