A print with rows of colorful vertical brushstrokes and descriptive text at the bottom.
An abstract artwork on paper featuring a large, textured black shape at the bottom with blue circular patterns, two faintly drawn, interconnected hexagonal structures resembling molecular diagrams at the center, and various smudges and marks. The word "TOP" is written upside down in the upper left corner, and there's a red circular stain with a black center near the top right edge. The background is white with gray smears and brushstrokes, and there's a signature at the bottom right.
An abstract painting featuring a series of dark, concentric circles and swirls on a textured, off-white background. The circles vary in size and intensity, with some appearing bold and others more faint. The artwork has a dynamic, fluid quality, and there are visible brushstrokes and drips throughout. The bottom right corner contains a signature or inscription.
An abstract artwork featuring two clusters of overlapping circular forms, one rendered in shades of gray with blue and yellow accents, and the other in black with brown and blue details. The background is a textured beige with faint grid lines, and there are small, colorful circles and a sketched oval shape near the top. The right edge has a vertical streak of orange-red.
This is a mixed media artwork featuring a collage of various abstract elements. On the top left, there's a branch-like figure with a colorful, tangled circle at its center. Below, a scribbled shape resembling a speech bubble contains two geometric drawings. A solid mustard-colored square with three small, abstract figures is positioned on the bottom left. To the right, there's a section with black scribbles over a faint grid, and adjacent to it, a vibrant blue figure with red and yellow accents appears to interact with abstract shapes on a light blue background. The piece has a raw, spontaneous feel, with visible pencil marks and smudges on the white canvas.
A sketch featuring abstract elements with a prominent circular motif filled with interconnected loops and dots at the top, and bold, dark lines resembling branches or sticks below, intersecting with three colorful, circular patterns that appear like marbles or cells. The background is a plain, off-white paper, and there are some light, sketchy lines and scribbles throughout. The bottom right corner includes a signature.
A childlike drawing featuring a large, roughly sketched figure in black with a fork and knife in hand, looking down at a plate filled with colorful, scribbled circles representing food. The background is a stained paper with a few random scribbles and a small drawing of a heart and a crayon.
An abstract artwork featuring a series of elongated, dark figures with reddish-brown tops aligned vertically at the top, with a cluster of scribbled, oval shapes in black dominating the lower half against a muted, textured background.
An abstract monochromatic artwork featuring overlapping circular patterns that resemble wire mesh or fan guards, with smudged and blurred lines creating a sense of depth and movement. The background has a textured, uneven wash of gray, adding to the artwork's gritty aesthetic.
A piece of artwork featuring a large circle filled with a black and white grid pattern and several smaller, brightly colored circles in red, green, yellow, blue, black, orange, and purple. Below the circle, the word "Folio" is written in large, black letters, followed by "Terry Winters" and the numbers "2/3" and "1985-1986" indicating the artist's name and the work's edition and date. The background appears to be aged or weathered paper.
