ArtGram.Wing

Two neighbouring readings rise together. They neighbour each other because they belong together, so this is one part of the painting doing two things in the same breath.

16 paintings · reaches on Color Range and Palette · holds on Texture, Contrast, Form and Abstraction

The most typical Wing in the catalog: Movement to Nowhere. Closest of the 16 to the shape’s own mean on all six.

Where it sits

Texture: 3.1 above the catalog median of 3.0
Contrast: 2.9 below the catalog median of 3.5
Form: 2.8 below the catalog median of 3.0
Abstraction: 2.5 below the catalog median of 2.6
Color Range: 3.2 above the catalog median of 3.0
Palette: 3.1 below the catalog median of 4.0

Means across all 16. The signature is what holds for the shape as a whole, not a rule every painting obeys: a named silhouette cutting through a continuum, not a category with a boundary.

What it is next to

Let one more reading reach and it becomes Frond or Sprig, and let one drop back and it becomes Spur. Two paintings a single step apart are related in a way you can see, which is what makes the thirteen a language rather than a list.
