Medium: Mixed-media painting with applied rope and stone element.
Date: 1983 (signed "R.B. '83")
Description:
This evocative mixed-media work features a vibrant aerial-style composition centered around a coral atoll or island motif. A central green form is encircled by a bold ring of pink, which is in turn bordered by textured, sand-like material, all set against a deep blue and turquoise ground.
A distinguishing feature of this piece is the applied three-dimensional element on the left side: a dark, twisted rope that appears to be "weighted" by a small, off-white stone or ceramic piece. This provides a tactile connection to the maritime theme, suggesting a mooring line or a found object from the sea
