Artist: Mercedes Horne (Canadian, 1925–2011) Title: Untitled Medium: Mixed media, likely watercolour and ink on paper Signature: Signed lower right, Mercedes Horne Sight: 31.5" x 21" Frame: 38.5" x 27.5" A vibrant and expressive abstract composition by noted Canadian artist Mercedes Horne, featuring a striking central crimson circular form surrounded by energetic blue linear elements, floating above a luminous green field. Executed in Horne's characteristic modernist style, the work combines delicate pen work with transparent watercolour washes to create a dynamic balance of colour, movement, and space. The composition reflects Horne's mature exploration of abstraction, where geometric forms and organic gestures merge into a sophisticated visual language. Elegantly matted and professionally framed under glass, this is an attractive example of her later contemporary work.
