Quas (23.1.86) 1986

"Quas (23.1.86)" is a 1986 abstract painting by John Hoyland (1934-2011), known for his vibrant, gestural style and explorations of colour and form. This painting, titled after its date of creation, demonstrates Hoyland's signature approach to abstract art, using bold, layered colours and sweeping, dynamic brushstrokes to create a sense of energy and movement on the canvas. The dominance of orange and yellow hues suggests warmth and vibrancy, while the drips and splatters add a sense of spontaneity and immediacy. Hoyland's work has been described as both lyrical and powerful, appealing to art lovers seeking a sense of dynamism and expression in abstract painting.
