Reflex II

Size:56 x 50 in.

Tabitha Millett’s Reflex II, measuring 51 x 45 inches, exemplifies her mastery of minimalism and material experimentation. The painting’s striking composition is dominated by a bold, semi-circular sweep of dense matte black, contrasted with fine textures and delicate splashes of movement. Millett’s characteristic precision and control are evident in the sharp lines and intricate interplay of light and shadow, creating a dynamic yet balanced visual experience.

The use of matte black, a signature element of Millett’s work, absorbs light to evoke a sense of infinite depth, while subtle textural details add tactile richness. The deliberate simplicity of the piece invites viewers to reflect on the relationship between structure and space, movement and stillness.
