Fired Layers

Standalone contemporary abstract artwork, landscape 4:3. A single asymmetric stepped silhouette occupies the left half of an expansive pale ash-grey field. Construct it from three overlapping, horizontally extended rectilinear planes of unequal lengths, each shifted slightly upward and right. Broad front surfaces in burnt terracotta, muted clay orange and dusty russet; narrow oxblood recesses separate the layers. Suggest fired brick through dry matte mineral colour and faint broad tonal variation, not individual bricks, mortar or a wall. Crisp outer edges, shallow sculptural depth, soft upper-left illumination and restrained shadow gradients within the seams. Keep the planes visually integrated as one compact form. Generous uninterrupted negative space on the right, sophisticated warm–cool contrast, no outlines or decorative detail. Nonfigurative artwork, not a scene or product photograph. No rooms, mockups, people, text, logos or watermarks.
