Richard Serra

Tujunga Blacktop

Richard Serra's *Tujunga Blacktop* is a commanding work that combines the raw physicality of paintstick with the precision of screenprint on a full sheet of Arches Cover paper. The piece reflects Serra's signature exploration of weight, mass, and materiality, translating the imposing qualities of his monumental sculptures into a two-dimensional surface. Dense, gestural marks interact with the structured qualities of the screenprint process, creating a tension between the spontaneous and the controlled.
