Abstract Collage - Galicia by James Edward Scherbarth

A long gray slab floats over a smaller torn piece crossed by dark stitched lines, like a cliff above a harbor wall.

Galicia is an abstract collage in mixed media on paper by James Edward Scherbarth, dated 2019 and signed and dated 08-20-2019 on the verso. Galicia, on the Atlantic coast of northwest Spain, is known for its rugged shoreline and its Celtic heritage, a pairing that has drawn many artists. A long irregular strip of mauve-gray paper crosses the upper half, its top edge tinged with blue. Below it, a squarer torn fragment in lilac, yellow and gray is overdrawn with dark looping lines and horizontal bars. Both pieces have rough, deckled edges. It is 7 inches wide and 10 high.

Two fragments, and the whole coastline implied.
