Description
A framed abstract composition of horizontal bands: a pale sage-green field above a thin blue-grey line, giving way to a wide expanse of off-white, interrupted by a dark brown-black horizontal band and a narrower grey-beige band near the bottom. The palette is muted and restrained, with no figures or recognizable landscape details beyond the stacked horizon-like divisions; a signature is visible in the lower right corner. *Horizon*, painted by Gen Yamanaka in 2006.
