Edda Renouf

Painter, American, born 1943

The image shows a canvas with intersecting lines creating triangular and V-shaped patterns on a red background. The placement of lines may bring to mind a dense thicket of branches or veins. The arrangement of lines could resemble primitive arrowheads or markings on ancient stone tablets. The overall effect is one of depth and subtlety, with the interweaving lines and varied intensity of the red hue inviting interpretations through familiar yet ambiguous shapes.
