The "Red Rock" series by Brice Marden, created between 2000 and 2002, continues the artist's exploration of abstract forms and his fascination with the natural world. While specific detailed discussions about the entire series are not readily available, the works, such as "2 Red Rocks 5," employ Kremer ink on L’aquarelle paper, measuring 15 × 20 inches (38 × 51 cm). This indicates Marden's continued use of premium materials to achieve the distinct textures and depths characteristic of his work during this period​ (Matthew Marks Gallery)​.

Marden's art from this era often reflects a blend of minimalist sensibilities and a deeper engagement with the expressive possibilities of line and color, suggesting landscapes or natural elements without direct representation. His choice of materials and the scale of work suggest a nuanced approach to abstraction, where the medium itself contributes to the viewer's experience of the piece.
