Objective Critique

This abstract painting by Judit Reigl uses emphasis on a stark contrast of blue paint to the white of the canvas. The blue pigment that seemingly explodes outward around the canvas is also somewhat balanced out by the purple / reddish paint. The direction of the thickly applied paint texture and lines send the viewer's eyes to the bottom left corner of the canvas, then a horizontal white glob of paint points across the bottom then back around the painting counter clockwise. The artist uses a good variety of thickly applied paint to create different textures and weights. The seemingly random lines and shapes, along with the negative space make up an erratic, unbalanced composition.
