Circuse 1984

"Circuse," created in 1984 by Eric Massholder, is a vibrant and dynamic abstract oil painting that utilizes bold colors and expressive forms. The composition is characterized by a central white figure surrounded by a swirling array of red, blue, black, and green shapes. Massholder's work often explores themes of the human form and its interaction with the environment, and "Circuse" exemplifies this through the interplay of organic and geometric elements. The painting’s title and imagery suggest a sense of movement and energy, capturing the essence of a circus performance or a dreamlike state.
