Charles Garabedian

Adam and Eve
1979–1980

A colorful mixed-media artwork featuring two central figures: a standing nude female figure with her right arm raised, touching her head, and a seated nude figure, possibly male, with one knee raised, resting his head on his hand. The background consists of abstract shapes and lines in various colors, with prominent green and blue hues, and a patterned orange grid on the right side. The figures are sketched with visible pencil lines and light watercolor washes, giving the piece a raw, unfinished appearance. The artwork is framed in a simple metal frame.
