Composition No 269 (Rhythmic Stripes)

This work stages a procession of horizontal bands—white and acid yellow—dragged across a black ground like light caught in motion, as if the canvas were registering speed rather than depicting a place. The smudged greys and gritty interruptions read as visual “noise,” where clarity repeatedly tries to assert itself and is immediately eroded by friction, time, and repetition. In its restrained palette and insistently lateral rhythm, the painting becomes a meditation on persistence: illumination returning in pulses, even as it is bruised and blurred by the very act of moving forward.
