FRAGMENTED ABSTRACTION 2 1999

Here we see "Fragmented Abstraction 2" by Rashid Al Khalifa, in which vibrant colors and bold shapes converge to create a dynamic visual experience. The composition is dominated by a bright yellow background against which blue organic forms and stylized floral elements are arranged. Khalifa employs a strategy of fragmentation, breaking down recognizable forms into abstract components. Note how the blue shapes create a sense of depth, while the white floral patterns add a layer of complexity. The interplay of these elements challenges our perception, inviting a re-evaluation of how shapes and colors interact to produce meaning. This work exists within a broader discourse around abstraction and representation. By fragmenting recognizable imagery, Khalifa destabilizes fixed meanings, creating space for new interpretations. The formal qualities of color and shape aren't merely aesthetic but serve as a means of engaging with broader cultural and philosophical questions.
