"Hot Susan" (1965) is a striking example of Gene Davis's signature style of abstract painting. The composition consists of vertical bands of color, creating a rhythmic and energetic visual experience. Predominantly using shades of gray, red, yellow, green, and turquoise, Davis creates a dynamic interplay of light and dark, showcasing his mastery of color relationships. The artwork is reminiscent of the color-field movement of the 1960s, where artists emphasized the purity of color and its emotional impact.
