Intuitively painted color field work of golden ochre and black creates a dramatic and intense effect on the canvas. The colors suggest a contrast between light and darkness, hope and despair, or life and death. The work is not intended to represent any specific object, but rather an emotion or feeling that the artist feels strongly about. The artist, Gorman Bentley, is a master of color field painting, a style that uses large areas of flat colors to create abstract and emotional works. He believes that art is a way of expressing one’s innermost feelings and emotions without using words.
