A blue diagonal crosses the four panels and links them like a taut line that carries the eye from one edge to the other. Around it, John Beckley orchestrates a play of contrasts between large, highly present black arcs, luminous orange triangles, and fine splashes that enliven the light background. The dark curves cut through the sharper geometric forms, giving the whole a musical rhythm, made of breaks and reprises. The broad white gestures that glide over the other colors add an impression of fluid movement, suggesting that the composition continues to recompose itself before our eyes.
