CATALOGUE DESCRIPTION
A painting of an imagined urban scene, created though the fusion of various architectural elements. The bottom foreground features a line of dark blue-green trees on the left, as viewed across an open space filled with light brown and purplecolour in the bottom right corner. Tall purple-toned buildings stand in the background on the right. The focus of the image is on a large rust steel beam structure. A large beam with holes along its length cuts across the width of the painting. Another beam rises on the left side to support a small multicoloured cabin on its top, and a large rectangular panel with multicoloured geometric shapes along its right side. In the background, a warm yellow and white sky is pictured close to the horizon, fading to light blue above.
