"Interplay" is a vibrant, abstract depiction of a forest or group of trees. The composition is full of energetic brushstrokes and a rich palette of colors such as greens, blues, and yellows, juxtaposed with pops of red and orange. Organic shapes overlap and intertwine, suggesting the complexity of vegetation and the density of a woodland landscape. Textural variations and what looks like the presence of sgraffito, where layers of paint are scratched to reveal underlayers, add to the dynamic feel of the piece. The work is framed by a simple gallery floating narrow frame that contains and enhances the image.
