Drawing for Andy #4

A dynamic and layered composition, Julie Mehretu's *Drawing for Andy #4* combines ink and watercolor on watercolor paper to create an intricate web of gestural marks, architectural fragments, and abstract forms. Fluid washes of color pulse beneath precise linear passages, reflecting Mehretu's signature interplay between spontaneity and structure. The work exemplifies her ongoing investigation into systems of power, geography, and collective memory through the language of abstraction.
