At the centre of the canvas, a giant red mass — unclear whether a structure, a sculpture, or a body standing alone. Around it a deep cobalt night, in the upper left another blue-black figure, on the right faces and a crescent moon. The 'sudden ruptures, excitements and surprises' the artist speaks of in his manifesto announce themselves exactly in this central occupation of red — it is not rule but exception, rising like a fire. This red alone reorganises the rest of the composition; it pulls the eye to itself, then disperses it to the other details. Mixed media here invites texture, line and fluidity onto the same surface; a threshold work where figurative traces tremble through abstraction.
