About this work

This is a black-and-white portrait of a young man in a collared shirt and tie. His jacket has two chest pockets, and his pants are tucked into belt loops. The background is a plain, light blue color. The lines are sketchy, like a pencil drawing, but it’s actually a printed image. The artist used a method called screenprinting, where ink is pushed through a stencil to create the image. This piece is part of a small set of prints the artist made in 1998. Check out more about lithography, the printing technique behind this work.
