About the Item

Conundrum is a bold and architectonic abstract by artist Louis Shields, part of his Quantum Series exploring color logic, spatial tension, and the visual puzzle of form. Executed in 2014, the work is a vivid composition of interlocking shapes and sweeping color fields, rendered in a palette dominated by red, with confident blocks of cobalt blue, acid green, matte black, and off-white. Painted with remarkable precision, the surface reveals subtle tonal shifts and brushwork variation within each shape, imbuing the hard-edge geometry with movement and tactility. The arrangement feels both digital and hand-wrought, simultaneously mechanical and painterly, evoking circuit boards, urban maps, or deconstructed architectural plans. Shields' work here channels elements of postmodern design, 1980s graphic abstraction, and midcentury constructivism. It's a standout piece for collectors seeking striking wall art with vibrant color and commanding form, perfect for contemporary interiors or curated gallery walls. Conundrum by Louis Shields Geometric abstract mixed-media on canvas Quantum series, 2014 Measures: 48" H, 36" W Colors: Predominantly red, large accents of blue, green, black, and tan or off-white.

By Cecilia Setterdahl
Located in Dubai, Dubai
About the painting “Joining” 2015 Trying to join the group. About the artist: Cecilia’s is working with all geometrical forms, lines and shadows.
