Untitled 1988

This 1988 abstract work, “Untitled”, by American artist Sam Francis (1923-1994), is a vibrant example of his signature style. The painting bursts with a dynamic interplay of color, featuring bold splashes of red, yellow, green, blue, and black against a white background. The artist’s use of drip and stain techniques creates a sense of movement and energy, reminiscent of action painting. Francis’s works, known for their spontaneous and expressive qualities, often explore themes of space, light, and color, evoking a sense of both chaos and tranquility.
