Apprehensive No. 2 - Original Abstract Painting by J. Kent Martin

Description

Original abstract painting by J. Kent Martin in gold, black, and layered neutral tones with pronounced textural variation. Apprehensive No. 2 feels unsettled and evolving-forms stretch and shift across the surface, suggesting hesitation and imbalance. The contrast between dense black passages and luminous gold creates visual drama. A bold contemporary artwork for curated interiors.
