Bas Dirks

Large dark abstract oil painting: a blue-black column plunges from the top through a dense storm of brushwork, with windows of deep blue opening behind the black. Rust and Venetian red masses anchor the upper right and lower edges, small flashes of pure red spark through, and a system of thick white impasto strokes climbs from the bottom left through the centre like light breaking in. Turbulent, deep and nocturnal.
