1958 2017 Shoosty Vol 1 Catalog Raisonné

Uba Tuba is based on a colorful interpretation of the sound of a pair of tubas. Using spirals and shapes, the artist sends patterns of color into space, reflecting around the borders of the canvas. Bright, colorful blocks define the tubas. A third tuba is placed behind the other two on its side and is filled with the deep blue colors of bass notes.

Tuba is spelled out in light green on the bottom right side to act as a counterpoint between the dark and bright colors. The sound coming from the tubas is depicted as shapes. Some of them have morphed into flowers. A lonesome ear and an upside-down head complete the composition. The result is a masterful use of color and an exciting design.
