Abstract painting in red, yellow and blue tones: the primary colours. The style is reminiscent of Op art, a technique which creates dazzling optical effects when the viewer looks at the work. The painting consists of broad, straight vertical stripes behind a wall of narrower pale stripes which bend to the right. As these blue, narrow stripes are overlaid across the yellow, bold stripes they become green. The colours and forms appear to oscilate.
