Untitled [yellows and greens] 1975

Here we see an undated abstract expressionist painting by Edward Avedisian, created using brushstrokes of yellow and green oil paint. The dominant visual experience is a vibrant layering of geometric forms, evoking a sense of dynamic energy and visual tension. Avedisian masterfully uses the interplay between colour and shape to create a compelling visual experience. The recurring squares and rectangles, rendered in a spectrum of greens and yellows, create a sense of depth and movement across the canvas. The choice of an almost clashing red for the central square adds a disruptive element. Thick, gestural brushstrokes enhance the textural richness, inviting close inspection of the painting’s surface. The work can be seen as a meditation on the formal qualities of painting itself. Avedisian challenges our perception of space and form, prompting a reconsideration of established artistic conventions. The painting functions as a site of ongoing interpretation, engaging with the broader discourse of abstraction and its capacity to convey emotion and meaning through purely visual means.
