Constellation Square Circle Violet Black Red by Leon Polk Smith is comprised of two canvases, on the bottom is a perfect circular canvas painted bright red, balanced a little off center, leaning left a bit is a rounded square canvas of black and purple. The black shape is a cut arc that divides the square in half starting from the top left ending at bottom right. The overall feeling of the piece is that of balance and powerful grounded energy.
