About this artwork
The second work in “The Moon” series, The Moon II, features a small grey square-like shape representing the moon against an intense orange sky. The mountainscape is depicted through large vertical lines in earthy tones of brown and light brown, with a striking yellow rectangle at the centre. Ribal departs from naturalistic colours in this piece, emphasizing the vivid orange of the sky and the bold yellow within the mountains. The visible paint marks create straight lines, with the thickness of the paint forming reliefs that cast shadows on the canvas, highlighting the mate- riality and texture of the paint itself.
