The work is comprised of two separate panels. In order to heighten the illusionistic effect...the artist has indicated specific instructions regarding the hanging of the painting and the spatial relationship of the two panels. He has also used obvious perspectival devices in his composition for illusionistic purposes.

The violets, oranges, and  greens...appear at various times to be transparent, translucent, or opaque. In his painting Davis has melded the freedom of Abstract Expressionism with the rigorous system of three-dimensional perspective developed in the Renaissance.

Ron Davis was born in Santa Monica in 1937. He studied engineering at the University of Wyoming and art at the Yale Univerisity-Norfolk Summer School of Music and Art and at the San Francisco Art Institute.
