Studio 07

Description

This dynamic abstract artwork merges industrial aesthetics with
modernist design language, resulting in a composition that feels
simultaneously architectural and expressive.
Dominated by a bold arc of burnt orange, the composition is
anchored against a background of slate grey, off-white, and
subtle textures that evoke weathered surfaces and layered
materials. The orange section curves gracefully across the left half
of the canvas, intersecting with fine white construction-like lines
that resemble chalk markings or technical drafts, introducing a
sense of planning and structure beneath the expressive surface.
Stencilled text elements — “STUDIO 07” at the top and
“DESIGN” at the lower left — give the work an urban-industrial
identity, reminiscent of workshop signage, blueprint stamps, or
architectural prototypes. These words are balanced carefully within
the composition, guiding the eye through their structured flow.
The surface texture is rich and tactile: areas of paint have been
applied thickly, then scraped or worn back to reveal underlayers;
drips of ochre and white run downward like aged plaster or oxidised
metal staining. Subtle rust tones on the right side enhance the
sense of material ageing, bridging modern design with raw,
timeworn surfaces.
The contrast between the precision of line work and the organic
energy of paint application creates a compelling tension — as if
this is both a blueprint and a relic, a design in process and a
fragment from a built environment
