Splay 1979

"Splay" is an abstract painting by British artist John Hoyland, created in 1979. The painting features geometric shapes in vibrant colors like deep blue, red, and green. The shapes are layered over a dark blue background, creating a dynamic and visually stimulating composition. Hoyland's abstract style, influenced by abstract expressionism, explores the interaction of colors and forms, and the interplay of light and shadow. The geometric shapes in "Splay" are reminiscent of modern architecture, while the bold colors and brushstrokes evoke a sense of energy and movement.
