Description from the seller
Private Signals (2026) continues Devon’s exploration of abstraction as a form of internal language. The composition is structured through a series of bold, irregular forms that resemble symbols or fragments of a coded system.
Executed in acrylic, gouache, and mixed media, the painting balances flat colour fields with textured, gestural applications. The palette combines earthy greens and ochres with sharper accents of red, blue, and black, creating a dynamic visual rhythm across the surface.
Outlined shapes and directional marks suggest communication without resolution, as if the painting is transmitting meaning that resists full interpretation. The composition feels both deliberate and intuitive, oscillating between control and spontaneity.
Devon’s work often navigates emotional and psychological states through abstraction. In Private Signals, this manifests as a visual language that is personal, fragmented, and deliberately opaque.
