About this work

This drawing shows four small squares with simple shapes inside. Each square has a diamond shape made of faint lines. Inside those diamonds are dark, flat shapes—some look like tilted rectangles, others like two thick bars. The paper is light, almost beige, and the lines are sketchy, like they were drawn fast. The shapes inside the diamonds don’t look like anything real. They’re more like abstract marks or maybe a quick study of shadows. The artist used thin, uneven lines to create the dark areas, which makes them look a little rough. If you like this kind of simple, sketchy drawing, check out cross-hatching.

About the artist

Artist

Paul Huxley

British artist Paul Huxley made bold, spare line drawings in the 1960s, filling white paper with looping black curves that feel both playful and precise.
