Iron Pier is a visually arresting abstract lithograph that plays with depth, reflection, and atmospheric tone in a way that invites contemplation. Rendered in layered textures and moody hues, the composition suggests the remnants of a pier jutting from the water, fragmented into bold vertical strokes that resemble worn pylons or their mirrored reflections. The palette leans toward cool, stormy tones of teal, charcoal, earthy browns, and softened whites, creating a sense of weathered industrial beauty.
Elaine Ippolito's use of form is expressive yet restrained, inviting the viewer to sense movement, memory, and decay within the geometry. The image is both grounded and ethereal, evoking a coastal landscape viewed through time or fog. The composition balances chaos and control, with controlled linear accents cutting through the softer washes and blotted textures. The piece is signed in the lower right corner and dated '87, marking it as a work created in 1987.
The lithograph is professionally presented in a simple rectangular black frame with a clean white mat that complements the artwork's subtle drama without distraction.
