Artwork Description

Threshold Forms explores the relationship between structure, balance and colour. Intersecting geometric planes in crimson, violet, ochre and turquoise emerge from a luminous field of white and soft neutral tones. The composition suggests architectural fragments suspended within shifting space, creating a sense of quiet tension and movement.
Layered acrylic surfaces and textured passages reveal the physicality of the painting process while allowing light to move through the composition. The vertical format enhances the feeling of elevation and stability, giving the work a strong contemporary presence.
This original abstract painting would make a striking focal point in a modern interior.

Ted Forbes is a Newcastle-based self-taught abstract artist working primarily in acrylic on hessian and canvas.
