One Life - 5.11.07 2007

"One Life - 5.11.07" is an abstract painting created in 2007 by British artist John Hoyland (1934-2011). The painting is characterized by bold, gestural strokes of color, and a vibrant, almost psychedelic palette. The composition is dominated by a large, red orb surrounded by a green line, set against a background of deep magenta, black, and white. Hoyland's abstract style was influenced by movements like Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting, and his work often explored themes of energy, movement, and the power of color. This piece exemplifies Hoyland's unique approach to abstraction, pushing the boundaries of color and form.
