On Island, 2026
By Kristen Coates
20”H x 16”W
Acrylic on canvas
Signed and titled on reverse
On Island is structured through a vertical divide, where saturated pinks and yellows meet cooler aquas and blues. Circular forms and softened edges move across the surface, but the central line holds the composition in balance.
The palette carries warmth without excess, a study in contrast that remains deliberate rather than playful. Each shape was placed in response to proportion, allowing the rhythm to emerge gradually.
Within the Current Collection, this piece reflects an interest in containment and release, how structure can heighten color rather than restrain it.
At 20 by 16 inches, it offers clarity without demanding scale, well-suited to smaller rooms, layered installations, or as part of a collected wall.
