One Hand on the Eject Button, One on a Martini and French Fries, 2026
By Kristen Coates
36"H x 48"W Framed
Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas
Signed and titled on reverse
A painting that unfolds through color, gesture, and space.
Expressive brushstrokes in vivid greens, coral, turquoise, and deep midnight tones move across the canvas, layered and responsive to one another. Each mark carries the trace of the hand that made it.
A quiet field of pale blue negative space anchors the composition, allowing the color to breathe. Here, the open space becomes as essential as the paint itself.
A work about rhythm, release, and the beauty of the brushstroke.
