This 24 inch x 24 inch work is an abstract painting in which the central motif is a vibrant cerulean blue organic form or shape that is dissected by a thin vertical line of pink that extends the full height of the canvas. The blue form is set against a vivid yellow background that is also bisected by the light pink strip, creating two separate, but almost symmetrical forms, which aids in creating a balanced feel within the work. There are two more vertical pink strips of paint on the outside of each of the yellow forms. This creates a sense of three dimensionality as the pink strips become the background that the yellow and blue forms are painted upon. The title of the work gives us a more in depth analysis, as "Blue Balls" could very well be the two blue figures, and if they are part of a figure as the title suggests, then the yellow forms become the legs. The brushwork is visible but not overly textured, lending a sense of depth and movement to the otherwise flat planes of color. The overall composition is characterized by bold color blocking and minimalist design and the use of color is the primary means of expression, with blue, yellow, and pink, creating striking contrasts. The artist's signature is inscribed in the lower right hand corner.
Linda Chrysler is a Carmel based artist out of California and was born in 1939. She has made a number of abstract pieces very similar to "Blue Balls" over the span of 40 years.
