About Triptych

A much-celebrated and important Canadian abstract artist, David Sorensen first discovered colour field painting in the 1950’s. His mesmerizing modernist work captured the nuances of light and colour found in nature. The three panels of this triptych are rendered in bands of bright lemon, aqua, white and verdant green. Visions of beach, sand and sky prevail.
