I am continuing my exploration of non-objective paintings. Below is my first diptych. One advantage of this approach is that it allows for greater ease of handling a larger painting because it is in two sections. This painting is composed of two size 24 x 24" canvases. Another advantage is that hopefully the two paintings can be separated and can stand alone if that is the preference.
The challenge is to maintain continuity and harmony between the two sections of the painting and yet have section work as a separate composition.

Older diptychs were often of a religious nature and were attached together by a hinge. Modern diptychs may not be hinged and simply intended to be hung together. A famous modern painting of Marilyn Monroe in this format was by Andy Warwhol.
