Grey / Blue on Pink 1971

"Grey / Blue on Pink" is a 1971 work by British artist John Hoyland, known for his abstract paintings. The work showcases a vibrant, yet restrained color palette with a dominance of pink, punctuated by hints of gray and blue. The central square shape is a recurring motif in Hoyland's work, often creating a sense of spatial depth within a flat surface. The artwork is a prime example of his signature style, characterized by bold color blocks and gestural marks, often inspired by his fascination with the dynamics of color.
