Description

This linocut resembles a reduction or multiblock relief print. The base red and teal are the background as the black layer is overlayed on top. This can be seen due to the offsetting black and red. Either it's another block carved on top, or the registration was not exact. The piece overall is abstract and expressionistic with its bold lines and blocky figures or shapes.
