Tango – Original Abstract Acrylic and Oil Painting on Canvas by Erin McGrath Rieke
About this Artwork
I created Tango in 2015 using acrylic and oil on canvas. This 12 × 12 inch original is part of my Let It Be series, which explores the intersection of control and surrender through fluid, gestural painting techniques.
Through a striking interplay of black and cream, I sought to capture the beauty found within life’s unpredictable moments. The organic movement of the paint suggests a visual dance between opposing forces, reflecting the process of letting go and discovering meaning within life’s irregularities.
Tango considers the liminal spaces of existence, where certainty dissolves and complexity begins to take shape. The smooth surface invites reflection on the power of imperfection.
