Venetian Carpet
A modernist composition built from nested rectangles that recede toward a warm center, the outer ground shifting diagonally between charcoal-grey and pale ivory bands. Concentric frames of pale blue, sand, and taupe step inward to a small rust-brown panel near the middle, with a single dark wedge breaking its lower edge like a shadow. Surface texture varies from fine striated weaving in the corners to a smoother, more solid treatment toward the center, giving the whole piece a sense of depth without any border in the traditional sense.
