Joe Goode — X-Ray Drawing 11
Joe Goode

X-Ray Drawing 11

1976

A bold and enigmatic work, Joe Goode's *X-Ray Drawing 11* employs charcoal on paper to evoke the sensation of seeing beneath the surface, as if exposing hidden structures within familiar forms. The rich, velvety blacks and delicate gradations of gray create a luminous, almost translucent quality that suggests depth and interior revelation. The drawing balances raw, gestural mark-making with a sense of quiet precision, inviting viewers to contemplate what lies beyond the visible.
