This modest statement conceals the fact that these
pieces are original and extremely challenging works
of art that combine large scale abstractions in yellow, green, blue, and purple with the texture
of torn, cut, and carved
cardboard.
In addition to canvas collages, Loving also began
piecing together
torn strips
of paper and
cardboard into massive compositions that he would paint in a variety
of colors and mount to metal supports so that they jut out from the wall, causing shadows that in effect became part
of the overall composition.
