Robert Therrien

Artist, American, 1947 - 2019

A dark, angular shape with a pointed peak sits centrally on a softly colored background in an abstract composition. The form resembles the silhouette of a simple house or a barn roof. The painting's muted tones and lone geometric figure invite the viewer to consider its abstract representation of everyday objects.
