Mantis by Sam Francis

A splash of red dominates the canvas in Sam Francis' Mantis. The artwork is a bold exploration of color and form, where the central red shape commands attention, surrounded by a field of softer hues. The red form is not alone. It is accompanied by smaller splashes of blue, yellow, and white that seem to float around it. These colors are not mere accents but integral parts of the composition, creating a sense of balance and harmony. The background, a pale ground, provides a neutral stage for the vivid colors to perform. This poster brings a dynamic focal point to a living room or studio, where its vivid colors can be appreciated.
