The Deadly Spiral
1978

An abstract expressionist artwork featuring a chaotic blend of black and red ink strokes, with various shapes and patterns that suggest a sense of movement and intensity. The red ink forms a central, flame-like shape, surrounded by dynamic black lines and marks that create a sense of turmoil or explosion.
