Shape Composition 14

Oscar Nimmo

Shape Composition 14, 2023 acrylic on stitched jute 62 x 61 cm

This piece is from an ongoing series of paintings and drawings that explore the communicative possibilities of non-representational form. These pieces use an iterative drawing process that play on peoples' pre-existing relationships to shapes and the associations they evoke. Within each composition there may be traces of language, figure or memory that arise and contribute to an overall resonance for the viewer.
