The artwork titled “Louisiana Red” by Ed Clark, created in 2004, exemplifies the Abstract Expressionism movement within the abstract genre. The dimensions of the piece are 170.18 x 182.88 centimeters.
In the artwork, a striking blend of colors is employed, where vivid hues of red dominate the upper section, diffusing into gradients of bright orange and subtle pink. These warm tones flow seamlessly into the cooler shades of gray and blue present in the middle portion. The lower part of the composition features deep blacks intermingled with earthy brown tones. The overall effect evokes a sense of dynamic movement, typical of the Abstract Expressionist ethos, characterized by spontaneous, gestural brush-strokes and a focus on the expressive capability of color. The piece is framed, enhancing its visual presence and completing the bold aesthetic.
