Circles Among Stacked Forms

A forceful abstract still life organizes books, papers, painted blocks, and a large circular form into a tightly packed vertical composition. Heavy, visibly worked paint gives the surface a tactile, almost carved character, while dark structural bands and angular shapes press against vivid red, blue, ochre, green, and cream passages. Fragmentary lettering and layered page edges suggest a tabletop arrangement without settling into literal description, creating a lively tension between recognizable objects and geometric abstraction.
