Description: “Break Out” is a captivating exploration of tension and release, featuring a striking central form that appears to burst from its confines. The focal point is a vibrant yellow shape emerging from a darker circular nucleus, surrounded by earthy reds, browns, and touches of electric blue. The jagged lines and layered textures evoke themes of growth, emergence, and transformation.

The contrasting warm tones of the background create an almost cellular or geological structure, while the blue accents punctuate the composition with energy and movement. The upward-reaching form at the center symbolizes new beginnings or an idea breaking free, a nod to the power of emergence amidst restriction.

The artist’s meticulous brushwork and textural layering add depth to the composition, creating a tactile quality that draws the viewer in. A thought-provoking and symbolic piece, ideal for collectors who appreciate dynamic mid-century abstract art.
