This painting is inscribed verso with title 'Three Triangles - C' and dated June 2008. The medium is acrylic on canvas, and has been coated with 'Golden' Varnish to protect from fading. It is on stretched canvas and unframed. It is 25 x 25 centimetres.

The artist, Ed Hanfling, is a prominent art critic who writes regularly for the magazine 'Art New Zealand'. He is also the author of several books on modernist New Zealand art.

Hanfling's style of abstraction is related to American Post-Painterly Abstraction, especially the 'Asymmetrical Chevrons' of Kenneth Noland. The painting is a clever play on the chevron motif, and also Noland's 'target' motif, with a touch of Jackson Pollock. The artist has used a modelling gel to build up the paint surface, and to get a very satisfying sharp, precise edge to the drip forms.

You will love having this painting in your collection, and as Hanfling is a widely known critic, it is likely to increase in value.
