Rhombus

This watercolor on paper, created for Boston-based musician Brian Friedland’s project Rhombus, is a complex composition that bridges botanical imagery with geometric abstraction. The artwork features a vibrant, chartreuse-edged rhombus that dominates the upper left, while smaller, glowing white diamond shapes sprout like pods from a central vertical stem. Luminous geometric forms contrast sharply against a deep indigo and teal background filled with layered leaves and intricate, white concentric line work reminiscent of topographic maps or ripples in water. This blend of fluid watercolor washes and sharp, angular shapes visually mirrors the ensemble's musical style, which fuses the structured complexity of modern jazz and classical development with the high-energy improvisation of rock and avant-garde music.
