The work is unified by a luminous chartreuse-green ground, punctuated with gestural linework, abstracted organic forms, and subtle pops of rust, black, and white. The interplay between the two panels creates a rhythmic, almost narrative visual flow—balanced yet dynamic.

Executed in encaustic on wood panel, the surface reveals rich depth and translucency characteristic of the medium. Dripped vertical passages, incised lines, and floating biomorphic shapes lend the piece a tactile, almost archaeological quality. The work reflects early 2000s contemporary abstraction with influences of mid-century biomorphism and modernist mark-making.

Presented unframed as intended, both panels retain a clean, gallery-ready edge. Overall condition appears very good, with minor, inherent variations typical of encaustic surfaces. Back of panel is signed/inscribed and includes original gallery label from Fay Gold Gallery, Atlanta.

This diptych makes a sophisticated statement in modern interiors—ideal for collectors of contemporary abstraction or designers seeking a large-scale, calming yet intellectually engaging focal point. See less
