Red Portrait No. 4
As the caption suggests this is the fourth in a series of related images. All are similar in size and general appearance but differ in details. My goal is to simplify the subject as much as possible.
I removed any information that seemed unnecessary to describe the so called ‘portrait’. Once the minimum arrangement of lines and shapes was achieved texture was added back for visual interest. The left/right asymmetrical imbalance is intentional to create unresolved tension for the eye.
The title Red Portrait describes my feeling about the finished work rather than the color. For what that may be worth. Just something a little different for today. Change is good.
