"Lined Circles" Geometric Abstract by Christopher Mark Brennan

Set against a dark, textured black background, this artwork explores the interplay between order and disruption through geometric abstraction. Five white circles, thick and dimensional, align precisely along a curved white rod, forming a sequence that suggests both structure and fluidity. The bold black acrylic strokes create depth, absorbing light and enhancing the contrast between the smooth, bright elements and the expressive background, and overseeing this enigmatic arrangement, a vivid red, round shape hovers in the upper right corner—a stark, flat presence confronting the dynamic formation below. Mark Brennan masterfully balances geometry and movement, where each form interacts in a silent yet powerful dialogue. The striking red accent disrupts the calculated tension between the structured white elements and the vast, consuming black field, creating a visual rhythm that challenges perception. Signed and dated 2020, this work exemplifies Brennan’s signature exploration of spatial
