Red Word
12" x 9"
This minimal composition is from Harkrader's 'Word' series. It is mixed media with collage. The generous red background has room to rest, in as much one can rest being surrounding by the energy of red (power). Red lines intersect in the upper right quadrant providing the only static position. The simple waves of red and black horizontals provide the little motion that exists in this paper on foam core framed in black. The rotund shape in the lower right provides anchor which is kept in place by two white and black triangles above and below. The overall language conveyed to many viewing this work is Asian influence.
