Description
This Framed J. Akston "Squiggle II 1973" Enamel on Paper features a bold red linear form arcing and looping over a misty green background. The central figure is executed with fluid precision, its enigmatic shape reminiscent of runic or linguistic characters. Soft yellow and white accents in the background lend depth and atmospheric variation, while the minimal palette and sprayed enamel application give the work a graphic immediacy. Set within a sleek metallic frame and wide neutral mat, the composition's clean, modern presentation draws attention to its vivid central form.
