Jackie Ellens's Shapes in Rhythm IV

A composition of considered movement, *Shapes in Rhythm IV* suspends form and gesture within a framed canvas that rewards prolonged attention — each element settling into place with the quiet authority of something choreographed rather than composed. The wood frame holds the work at a precise 42 inches in height, giving the piece a vertical presence that anchors a wall without overwhelming it. From the John Richard collection, it speaks to that enduring conversation between abstract energy and architectural stillness.
