Upright Parallelogram 2
Drawing on paper. Colored pencil, acrylic, ink. 8.5 × 11 inches. 2024
A Play of Geometric Tension and Organic Fluidity
The title, Upright Parallelogram II, introduces a deliberate interplay between the rigidity of geometry and the dynamic nature of organic forms. The central element—a flowing, layered abstraction of blues, oranges, and greens—rises with energy, seemingly defying the static framework of the golden grid in the background.

A Play of Geometric Tension and Organic Fluidity
The title, Upright Parallelogram II, introduces a deliberate interplay between the rigidity of geometry and the dynamic nature of organic forms. The central element—a flowing, layered abstraction of blues, oranges, and greens—rises with energy, seemingly defying the static framework of the golden grid in the background.
The grid itself, representing the "parallelogram" of the title, provides a stark and structured contrast to the organic shapes it frames. However, its warped, uneven appearance suggests a tension between order and distortion, hinting that even structures we perceive as stable are subject to the influences of chaos and time.
The organic figure—dynamic and almost creature-like—emerges with vitality, as though it is reclaiming the rigid space. Its layered hues evoke a spectrum of energy, from fiery oranges to cool blues, symbolizing a dance of opposites: fire and water, movement and stillness, life and form. Its posture—leaning yet upright—echoes persistence and adaptability, qualities required to navigate a world of shifting structures.
The golden elements surrounding the figure twist and reach, suggesting a symbiotic relationship between the structured and the organic. They could be interpreted as both supports and constraints, underscoring the duality of stability and restriction.
This work invites viewers to explore the balance between chaos and order, and how structure and fluidity coexist in both art and life. It challenges us to consider the spaces in which these forces collide and the beauty that emerges from their interplay.
