Artwork Description
Byron Browne created abstract images that often suggest recognizable forms. In Chinese Dancer the arrangement of shapes and lines evokes a tall figure in a swirling costume, captured in a fast-moving dance. He focused on the surface of the painting, creating a pattern that carries our eyes from the bright shape in the center, around the white diamonds and curves, to the stars scattered over the vivid pink background.
