At the center, the large light cross imposes a clear structure, while its surface speckled with white splashes introduces something freer and more in motion. John Beckley organizes around this axis a geometric construction made of triangles and colored bands that seem to overlap, creating a marked architectural depth. The black and dark areas, at the corners, reinforce the sense of perspective and give the central X a particular relief. Up close, the nuances in the flat areas and textures add a distinctly mineral quality to the surface. The whole remains poised between geometric order and the energy of the white splashes that run through the center of the canvas.
