Description
Acrylic on canvas, Dereje Shiferaw (Ethiopian, born 1976)
Collision of Color, 2025
100 x 100 cm
In Collision of Colors, bold gestures and vibrant hues converge in an energetic exploration of movement, tension and transformation. Vivid reds, luminous yellows, electric blues and expressive pinks sweep across the canvas, intersecting with contrasting strokes of black, white and green to create a composition charged with visual intensity.
Layers of colour overlap, collide and break apart, establishing a rhythm that moves between spontaneity and structure. Sweeping lines cut across the surface, while contrasting shapes and textured marks create a sense of continuous motion, as though the composition were caught in the midst of an unfolding encounter. Amid this apparent chaos, moments of visual harmony emerge, revealing unexpected connections between opposing forms and colours.
Through this dynamic interplay, Collision of Colors explores the expressive power of colour as both a force of conflict and a means of connection. The work celebrates the energy that emerges when different elements meet, challenge one another and coexist, transforming tension into a vibrant visual language of movement, emotion and possibility.
