White and Red Arrows (1974) comes from a period in which Fenichel’s abstraction became increasingly structured while retaining her interest in colour, drawing and gesture. The composition brings together bold black lines, circular forms and red marks across a predominantly white ground, creating an interplay between geometric structure and organic forms. The title refers to the arrow-like forms within the composition, which introduce a sense of direction and movement, guiding the viewer’s eye across the surface. This emphasis on dynamism reflects Fenichel’s continued exploration of the relationship between colour, line and surface, using these elements to create spatial tension and movement within an open, restrained composition.
