Nicole Coson’s Untitled 7, part of her 2016 Process of Elimination series, features three pale, swirling forms that appear to float across a dark, textured surface. These shapes suggest movement and lightness, evoking elements such as smoke, clouds, or soft brushstrokes.
The background is composed of horizontal textures that add depth and visual interest. Thin lines stretch across the canvas, creating a gentle rhythm and guiding the viewer’s gaze. The overall composition is quiet and spacious, encouraging reflection and close observation.
The work is made using a monotype technique, a printmaking process that produces a single, unrepeatable image. This approach reinforces the sense of capturing a moment that cannot be duplicated. With its limited color palette and abstract forms, the piece offers space for viewers to engage with it in their own way, finding meaning through personal interpretation.
