Electrical Nymphs on a Non-Objective Ground
1984

This is an abstract artwork featuring a series of red and brown vertical and diagonal lines intersecting across the image, creating a sense of movement and depth. The lines partially obscure and reveal a human face beneath, suggesting a fragmented or deconstructed appearance. The face is set against a pale background, and the artwork is signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
