Two imaginative figures fill the dark background in “The Ballroom II” by Susanne Butcher. The larger figure has a yellow-green face, large swirling eye forms and long pink arms, one raised towards the upper left corner. A smaller figure with a rounded head and turquoise-blue body emerges in the lower right.
Black and white lines form dense loops, eye contours and sweeping paths across the layers of colour. Red and burgundy fields meet turquoise, blue and green in the larger figure’s clothing, where broad, flowing shapes may suggest fabric in motion. Pale outlines stand out against the deep navy and almost black ground.
The title and the figures’ gestures may evoke dancing, performance and a lively encounter in a ballroom. Yet the subject remains free and enigmatic, with shifting proportions and faces that balance portraiture with abstraction. The vertical 80 × 100 cm format emphasises the raised arm and the interplay between the two figures.
