About the Item

This 31.625 x 44.75 inch by Larry Hefner is an abstract mixed media painting. Hefner uses paint and fabric to add texture to the composition. The composition consists of various organic shapes, lines and patterns, resembling a patchwork. Hefner uses a color palette consisting of different shades and tones of beige/tan, light blue, white, grey and a small amount of orange. Across the bottom and top edge of the work, both taking up about 1/8th of the work, are strips of thick light grey/light blue paint that add texture to the work, as though they are raised from the canvas, creating horizontal ridges within both top and bottom strips. Below the top strip, is a thin, black, jagged line with a repeating pattern of black rectangular shapes placed along it. This black line is interrupted on the right side by an organic shape of cut out burlap, outlined by a black line with small blue dots. This shape overlaps onto a large white painted organic shape, connected to another larger white organic shape, by a representational ladder. The first white shape is overlapped again by another square shaped piece of burlap fabric, overlapping yet another shape, just below to the white shape. This shape is more rectangular and borders the bottom strip of light grey/blue thick paint mentioned earlier, but is painted with a dark grey color. On the other side of the "ladder" is a blue organic shape that overlaps the white larger shape mentioned before; both the blue and white shapes border another smaller dark grey shape, also bordered by the light grey/light blue strip of paint that runs across the bottom of the canvas. The dark grey is also slightly seen within a triangular shaped patch thats positioned just above the larger white shape upon the left side of the canvas. There are 12 patchwork type shapes that are various shades of beige, that overlap the large white shape and are then overlapped by the large light blue shape mentioned before. Hefner's style incorporates jagged, uneven lines and organic shapes adhering to abstract principals.
