Rights Of Man 6 1988

Ronnie Landfield created this abstract work, "Rights Of Man 6", by layering fields of colour and subtle linear structures. The painting presents a muted palette where a dominant field of pale yellow and cream is punctuated by horizontal bands of red and blue. Landfield's work engages with the formal concerns of colour field painting, but it also introduces an element of structural complexity through its linear configurations. The semiotic function of these lines is ambiguous, they don’t seem to signify anything beyond their presence as compositional elements, yet they evoke a sense of underlying architecture. This tension between pure abstraction and structural suggestion creates a dynamic visual experience, inviting interpretation. Ultimately, "Rights Of Man 6" functions as a site of ongoing re-evaluation, where our perception of space and form is continually tested and redefined.
