Description
Flight, 1977 is a vibrant geometric abstraction in which Beverley Edwards distills the sensation of movement into a dynamic arrangement of bold, intersecting planes of color. Expansive fields of red, magenta, golden yellow, and deep blue create a visual balance between stability and lift, while the crisp angular forms suggest the soaring trajectory and changing perspectives implied by the title. Rooted in the language of hard-edge abstraction, Flight reflects Edwards' interest in the expressive potential of color, form, and spatial relationships, transforming simple geometric elements into a composition that conveys energy, optimism, and motion.
*Purchased from employee Sam Edward's mother.
