Untitled, Julie Mehretu


This painting caught my eye because the first thing i saw was a cat's face. Then I started seeing the circular motions of the painting and saw a lot of positive space. The focal point of this painting seems to be the bold black lines. The colors in this painting are the red, green, black, yellow, pink and blue. The texture seems to be 3-D; it seems to have a time and motion feel to it. There's a rhythm to this painting because  the strokes look a if they could be repeated over and over. To me, this painting is more abstract because of the name.  For these reasons, I like this painting.
