an experimental watercolour by helge christiansen, where soft brushstrokes in yellow, green and violet tones form an organic, almost floating oval shape at the centre. The work balances between pure abstraction and a colour symphony inspired by nature, illustrating christiansen’s interest in colour planes and the dissolution of form within 1960s danish modernism.
