About the Item
The Kiss - Abstract Figurative Composition in Acrylic on Paper
A bold abstract painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). Figurative Abstract of two lovers embracing. A large section of red is divided in two by a dark blue streak. This shape is a repeating theme in De Silva's work. Above the red section is a brown cap, with white accents. This piece was created as a glass press transfer, meaning that the artist created the composition on a piece of glass and then pressed it into the paper, leaving a textured effect.
Signed and dated in the lower right: R. de Silva 86
Paper size: 19"H x 12.5"W
