Jasper Johns

Untitled
1986

This is an abstract monochromatic artwork featuring various shades of brown and black, with organic and geometric shapes intermingling. The composition is dense with forms that resemble natural textures and contours, possibly suggesting a landscape or a close-up of natural elements. The image is bordered by a white margin, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.
