About this work

This print shows two simple black-and-white figures. One person sits on a bench, looking down, while another stands nearby, wearing a hat and holding something in their hands. The background is mostly dark, with a few quick lines suggesting movement or light. The artist used a woodcut-like method, carving into linoleum to create the image. The lines are bold and the shapes are flat, with no shading to soften edges. Check out more of John Shaw’s work to see how he uses simple shapes to tell stories.
