Christopher Wool — Portraits (Red) 5
Christopher Wool

Portraits (Red) 5

2014

This lithograph exemplifies Wool's characteristic exploration of mark-making and erasure, employing bold gestural strokes in red against white paper to create an abstract "portrait" that challenges traditional representational conventions. The work continues the artist's investigation into the relationship between painting and printmaking, translating his signature spontaneous yet controlled aesthetic into the lithographic medium.
