Acrylic on canvas

Based on abstract expressionism theory from the 1940's/1950's.

Irony in the title, I'll leave it to you to pick it up though.

The flag is Weimar Republic Germany. I chuckled at Newman - this works completely - do more!

I get the Barnett newman idea, yet for me this is some kind of a modern flag which i think is even better than a homage...

also, i like your work in general. good stuff!

ah... mr. newman. he had a thing for zips. after all, he did create the vertical line.

although i must say, yours rival his skill.

I like it, good job. ^_^

ahh. i hate to take so long to comment.... but... I really do like this I'm not usually one for abstract paintings, but this is both interesting and pleasing to the eye.
Though I have to admit, I don't understand the title

Oooooh very nice colours, can't think of the irony part but it's still neat. Yay, rule of thirds.

Almost. I love Mark Rothko. The guy really had a thing going with his colourfield works.
Thanks for the comment, it's greatly appreciated since I'm just starting out with this painting thing, haha. Cheers.
