A serene abstract reverie of odd interlocking and overlapping shapes and under-painted layers project a subtle tranquillity. Warm reds predominate with expanses of subdued green in a general hard-edged composition where there is an illusion of perspective. The ‘action’ moves from left to right in a flotsam of soft rectangular blocks. This painting was exhibited in 1994 at Art Salon in Kuala Lumpur where it was sold.
