Green Stance 1984

Warren Rohrer made this painting, Green Stance, with a subtle touch, layering colours in a way that feels both calm and considered. It’s like watching colours slowly revealing themselves, a testament to the artmaking process as a journey. The texture is interesting here, isn't it? The paint isn't slathered on; instead, it's applied in thin, almost transparent layers. There's a delicate balance between the greens and blues, and those little red marks around the edge, they are like a secret code. Look closely at the top left corner, where the green is at its most vibrant. You can almost feel the artist's hand moving, gently coaxing the colour across the surface. Rohrer reminds me a bit of Agnes Martin, in the way he uses subtle variations to create a feeling of quiet contemplation. Ultimately, a painting like this reminds us that art isn't about definitive answers, it's about embracing ambiguity and finding beauty in the unexpected.
