Postlude — Studio Abstractions
Painted after completing the movement series, these three studio abstractions are reactions to the full Rite of Spring process—raw energy distilled from the whole cycle rather than any single movement.
The series exhales and the field surges. This first canvas gathers what Rite of Spring set in motion—gesture, strike, return—and lets it collide in open air. Broad marks and quick percussive touches swarm; long vectors stake out a path through the thicket. It reads like spring’s engine running on after the curtain: raw energy organized by pulse, variety coalescing into a single drive.
