About this work

You see two men in suits grappling on a rooftop at night, their bodies locked in shadowy struggle. Bosman carved this scene from wood, leaving rough edges and jagged lines that make the fight feel raw. The print is small—about the size of a poster—but the thick black ink gives it weight, like a movie still frozen mid-punch. He strips the moment down to just shapes and tension, no background noise. If you like this gritty, graphic style, look up the technique: woodcut.
