Hooked Descent in Teal

Uk

Created 3 October 2026 at 18:19

Somewhere between the compressed, angular abbreviations of Katsushika Hokusai's cursive sketch studies and the austere vertical propositions of Barnett Newman, this submission finds its position - neither fully committed to the calligraphic nor to the purely structural. The teal form presents a horizontal sweep terminating in a sharp rightward corner, from which a secondary arm folds back before the whole composition drops into a long, near-vertical descent that exits the field below. The upper register carries the weight of decision; the lower passage is patience made visible.
