Christopher Wool — alkyd on paper
Christopher Wool

alkyd on paper

Christopher Wool's untitled work on paper exemplifies his signature approach to mark-making, combining gestural abstraction with a raw, industrial sensibility. The use of alkyd, a fast-drying oil-based medium, lends the surface a striking interplay of dense, layered strokes and fluid, spontaneous passages. The work reflects Wool's ongoing exploration of process and materiality, where the act of painting itself becomes the primary subject.
