In The Imbalance of Blue, Lioda Conrad explores tension through restraint. A rich field of ochre and burnished gold dominates the surface, textured and atmospheric, while delicate passages of pale blue interrupt the composition like pauses in a conversation. These cool accents—vertical and horizontal—create a subtle structural rhythm against the warmth of the ground.

The contrast between the grounded earth tones and the fleeting blue gestures suggests a quiet disruption—an emotional or environmental shift that feels both fragile and deliberate. Conrad’s layering technique allows the oil to settle into the paper with nuanced depth, revealing scratches, traces, and softened edges that speak to time and process.

More intimate in scale, this 2022 work offers collectors a refined and contemplative abstraction—one that balances minimal gesture with emotional complexity. Signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, The Imbalance of Blue is a sophisticated addition to any thoughtfully curated collection.
