Hetty Haxworth's "Kind of Blue" beckons viewers into a world of geometric abstraction where form and colour create a captivating visual harmony. This striking painting on relief wood (22.5 x 40 cm framed) employs a sophisticated palette dominated by varying shades of blue, from deep navy to vibrant azure, balanced against crisp white and stark black elements. Haxworth demonstrates remarkable precision in her composition, arranging rectangular forms in a horizontal sequence that suggests both movement and stillness simultaneously. Fine linear details etched into the surface add subtle complexity, creating a sense of depth and dimension that rewards close inspection, while the textural qualities of the relief wood bring a tactile element to this otherwise coolly geometric work.

The Impact of Abstraction in Interior Spaces
When displayed on a wall, "Kind of Blue" transforms its surroundings with a sense of contemplative calm, yet its bold geometry provides visual interest that anchors the eye. The work's horizontal format creates a sense of expansion and breadth that can visually extend a space. The title's reference to Miles Davis's seminal jazz album suggests musical influences, inviting viewers to consider the rhythmic qualities within Haxworth's composition—the intervals between shapes, the variations in blue tones, and the precise balance of positive and negative space. This contemporary abstract piece exemplifies how geometric art can bring both intellectual engagement and aesthetic pleasure to living environments, creating a daily dialogue between artwork and observer.
