Deep reds and smoky violets anchor the work with geometric blocks, while an array of intricate black lines, organic shapes, and fluid ink gestures float across the surface. The stippled background pulses with texture, giving the piece an atmospheric depth that feels both architectural and biological. A vibrant green slash cuts diagonally across the central form, introducing a sense of motion and tension. Rufescent reflects VerBurg’s signature blend of control and improvisation, geometry and gesture—creating a vivid exploration of form and energy. From a private collection; acquired directly from the artist. Dimensions: 37.5 inches tall, 29.5 inches wide, and 1 inch deep (framed). In excellent condition.
