Letendre's large canvases of the 1970s explore her fascination with depicting speed and vibration. In “Wahala”, the artist combines the hard-edged technique with airbrush. The use of airbrushed paint creates a dimension of depth while the dramatic shift in palette occurs when the black “arrow”, framed by two vivid yellow stripes, slices through the surface of the work. ”Wahala” is a testament to Letendre's ability to create dynamic and engaging works of art.
