Untitled is a 2002 graphite by Philip Argent, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two folded chairs in bright, flat colors. One chair is orange with a pattern of birds or clouds, and the other is striped in pink, yellow, and brown. The lines are sharp and clean, like they were drawn with care. The chairs look simple but are made with lots of tiny lines and shading to create depth. It’s all done by hand with colored pencils and ballpoint pen. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists use lines to build up shapes.
Philip Argent (b. 1962) was a British artist, born in Essex.
