This work is an example of the vertical format painting from Wynter's seminal abstract period. The artist's repertoire of marks, blobs and stabs, stubby or attenuated, thick or thin, never resolve into a preconceived pattern. They have an energy and rhythm that conveys a kinetic visual buzz - the flicker of nature. This work was purchased with additional funding from the David and Liza Brown Bequest Fund through the Art Fund.
