This mixed media work by Tim McDowell is executed on wood and dated 1993, titled Chymica Vannus No. 1. The composition features a richly textured surface built through layered materials and expressive mark-making, incorporating raised linear elements and organic forms against a dark, atmospheric ground. Earthy tones are contrasted with lighter botanical-like shapes and red accents, creating visual tension and depth. The work reflects a material-driven, experimental approach characteristic of late 20th century abstract and encaustic-influenced practices. The reverse bears identifying information confirming the artist, title, medium, and date.
