At the center, an angular crown sign settles like a clear emblem amid a background in full effervescence. John Beckley sets this simple motif, in a vivid and textured gold, against a profusion of colorful projections that cross, collide and overlap. The splashes, strokes and drips build a dense, urban space, where graphic grids and darker areas appear in places to frame the scene. The contrast between the stability of the symbol and the turmoil of the colors gives the whole a direct, noisy energy. The irregular, luminous golden surface then seems to hold this joyful chaos in a single point of convergence.
