"Anomalous" composition is abstract juxtaposition of various textured strokes, blocks of colors, and lines. The upper portion features a soft blue sky-like wash, interrupted by a sharp horizontal red line. Below this line, the texture becomes more complex, with areas of white and gray that are reminiscent of scraping and overpainting. A prominent yellow block with scribbled black lines anchors the bottom left-hand corner, providing a vivid splash of color and a sense of intentional disorder. The central region of the painting is a patchwork of diverse elements, including portions that seem like architectural forms and others that are more ambiguous, suggesting eroded walls or urban decay. There are faded imprints that might resemble lettering and geometric shapes adding to the layered narrative. Dynamic yellow lines sweep energetically across the composition, creating a contrast with the otherwise more muted and earthy tones, contributing to the artwork's sense of movement and spontaneity. The painting invites contemplation, as it allows the viewer to project their interpretations onto its non-representational forms and textures.
