The Social Hour

A cluster of figures occupies the picture plane through a sequence of interconnected forms rendered in white, grey, black, and vivid red. Faces and garments are abbreviated into painterly passages that merge with neighboring shapes, creating a dense arrangement of overlapping silhouettes. Variations in brushwork move between broad gestural applications and more deliberate linear accents. The composition unfolds through repeated contours that connect one figure to the next.
