Untitled
1986

A colorful abstract artwork featuring a mix of geometric and organic shapes, lines, and patterns. Central to the composition is a large circle containing a sketch of a reclining figure, overlaid on a grid pattern that extends to the background. The grid is intersected by a jagged black line resembling a crack. Various elements such as a stylized bird, a window with curtains, and scattered abstract motifs in blue, orange, and black are dispersed throughout the image. The piece has a dynamic and fragmented appearance, suggesting a collage of different visual ideas.
