Study #1 for “Chainsawer + Bicyclist”
2014

A colorful abstract artwork featuring geometric shapes and figures that resemble a humanoid form interacting with a red box. Mathematical calculations and notes are scribbled in the margins, suggesting a draft or conceptual stage of the piece. The style is reminiscent of modern art with a playful use of space and perspective.
