Mirage Construction #15 1988

Larry Bell's 1988 "Mirage Construction #15" is an abstract painting characterized by vibrant colors and gestural brushstrokes. The artwork is dominated by a large, white oval shape, which appears to float against a dark background. Around this oval are bold lines and strokes in shades of pink, gold, and blue. Bell's signature style is evident in the use of transparent paint layers that create a sense of depth and illusion, as if the colors are shimmering and shifting. The artwork invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between light, color, and space, creating a mesmerizing visual experience.
