Blue Saxophone - Ritta Henriques Jorge

A saxophone in turquoise, cobalt and pale sky blue stands upright against a deep maroon ground, its bell tilted towards the upper right and its keys picked out as round, glassy discs. Loose slabs of lime green, white and dark teal break up the space around it, so the instrument seems to glow out of a burst of colour.

Broad, dry brushstrokes and scraped layers keep the surface rough and lively, signed Ritta in the lower right. Ritta Henriques Jorge is a Portuguese painter whose expressive work draws on emotion, femininity, nature and everyday life. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
