Balance Examples

Carlos Ferguson
V
1991

The large area of dark tone on the left of this image is balanced by the lighter figure and ground on the right. The mass of the figure, as suggested by its strong outer contour and the tilting of the head into the darker area, creates a sense of tense equilibrium in this asymmetrical work.
