Untitled (Black and White)
1998
This abstract ink composition features a densely interwoven tangle of bold black forms and curved lines set against a white ground, with a hatched textured area visible in the upper right corner. The gestural, organic shapes suggest influences from mid-twentieth-century abstraction, creating a dynamic visual rhythm through the interplay of positive and negative space. The work demonstrates a characteristically modernist approach to non-representational form, employing bold contrasts and flowing, biomorphic shapes that convey movement and energy. Signed and dated in the lower right, this piece exemplifies the experimental drawing practices that flourished in the Provincetown artistic community.
