Red Spot 1954

John Ferren's "Red Spot" (1954) is an abstract painting characterized by bold blocks of color and gestural brushstrokes. The composition features a vibrant red "spot" against a light-toned background, along with smaller areas of green, grey, and pink. Ferren, a prominent figure in the American Abstract Expressionist movement, explored themes of color and form in his work, challenging traditional notions of representation. "Red Spot" embodies this approach, evoking a sense of energy and movement through its dynamic interplay of color and shape.
