About this work

This is a set of three prints showing the same person from the shoulders up. The background shifts from deep red to black to teal, while the figure stays mostly in shadow. Their hair is voluminous, framing the face, and the lighting is soft, focusing on the curves of their neck and jaw. The prints use bold color blocks for the background, making the figure stand out. The artist chose to keep the face shadowed, so we only see shapes—not details. Next, check out Lyle Ashton Harris to see how he plays with light and color in other works.
