TaurusDescription
"Taurus" is an original screenprint on navy paper by Austrian artist Roland Hobart. The rectangular print depicts a large bull created from abstract, color-blocked shapes in vibrant shades of blue, yellow, orange, and red. Negative space is used to add detail in areas such as the horns, snout, and eyes. A thin square borders the bull, using the same vibrant blue. Beneath the border, on the lower left-hand side reads, "TAURUS," in a vibrant blue serif type. An additional blank sheet of the same size with a large, dull blue square is included with the print. Sub-numbered A & B.Type of Print
