Elusive Orange uses bold brushwork and strong dynamic figure-ground relationships to create a balanced and intriguing abstract composition. The evidence of the process can be seen in little bits of color on the edges of the canvas as well as the bits of color popping through the surface. Reminiscent of abstract expressionist and modernist artwork, the painting captures the nostalgia of the ab ex painters from the middle of the 20th century with a slick contemporary approach.
