Parade

Parade is an excellent example of Abstract Expressionism, specifically the Action Painting style with its energetic application of paint and focus on the artist's spontaneous process. The work features a series of vertical, elongated forms suggestive of figures in a lively parade. These forms vary in height and width, creating a sense of dynamic movement despite their static arrangement. The textured surface, created by abundant small splatters and drips of paint, enhances the festive atmosphere and mimics the look of confetti. The applied horizontal canvas strips across the painting serves to ground the forms and establish a distinct line, adding depth and visual interest that produces an overall effect of vibrant energy.
