It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Painted in 1971 – a breakthrough moment of Whitten’s illustrious practice – ‘Russian Speedway’ is an outstanding example of the artist’s ceaseless experimentation with the materiality of paint. The work is highly textural in composition and emotive in color: crimson red fades into deep purple, as perpendicular lines traverse the canvas, revealing turquoise and emerald tones underneath. It is at once striking and serene, dynamic yet balanced, revealing Whitten’s ingenuity and mastery of his medium.
