Untitled
1986

An abstract artwork featuring a central shape resembling a pinched loop or infinity symbol outlined in yellow, set against a background with intersecting red and blue lines creating a sense of depth and movement. The background has a textured appearance with various shades of blue and hints of red, giving the impression of a three-dimensional form. The upper right corner contains a series of Asian characters, and there are subtle markings and stamps in the lower left area.
