Original abstract painting by J. Kent Martin featuring a rich field of warm gold layered with bold black forms and heavily textured surface detail. Apprehensive No. 1 carries a sense of unease beneath its luminous ground—dark vertical elements interrupt the surface, creating tension between stability and uncertainty. The tactile finish adds intensity and depth. A striking contemporary artwork for modern or industrial interiors. • Original work of art – not a print or reproduction • Artist: J.
