Description
This work is a stylized, high-contrast portrait of a woman, rendered with a raw, Neo-Expressionist energy. The subject's features are defined by heavy black silhouettes that suggest a side-lit face, with the negative space of the paper forming a stark highlight down the center. Dense, vertical strokes of vibrant blue and erratic splashes of ochre orange create a frantic, layered atmosphere around the figure. The aesthetic captures the graphic, stencil-influenced style of the late 1980s urban art scene.
