Original mixed media work on paper by Purvis Young featuring an expressive figural composition. The scene presents abstracted human forms rendered in layered washes of red, black, and earthy tones, characteristic of Young’s dynamic urban narrative style. Loose brushwork and spontaneous mark making create movement and emotional depth within the composition. The artwork is presented under glass in a simple frame, reflecting the raw and powerful aesthetic associated with the artist.
