Edition:
Original 1/1
Style:
Beckles stages the composition as a hard-edged emblem against a white ground, where black fields, neon yellow bars, violet blocks, and coral-red speckling strike the eye at once. The surface is built from flat acrylic passages and crisp geometry, with a central vertical axis interrupted by triangular spikes and mirrored supports that give the work a totemic, masklike charge. The interplay of clean planes and granular, splattered texture brings Constructivist structure into conversation with the postwar language of abstraction and a Pop-inflected palette. Its compressed symmetry and severe silhouette turn the wood support into an object with sculptural presence as much as painted image.
