Cosmic

2002

Ouattara Watts' "Cosmic" combines pastel, oil, and silkscreen on paper laid on canvas to create a richly layered composition that merges gestural abstraction with printmaking techniques. The work exemplifies the artist's characteristic approach to building complex visual narratives through the interplay of multiple media, where spontaneous mark making and deliberate screenprinted elements engage in dialogue. By working across these varied processes and materials, Watts constructs a multidimensional surface that invites viewers to consider how different artistic languages can coexist and interact within a single work.
