About this work

This print shows three tall, shadowy figures standing close together. Their shapes are sharp and angular, with jagged edges. The background is mostly dark, but the figures have light areas that make them stand out. The figures’ faces are hidden, and their bodies look almost like silhouettes with some lighter lines. There’s a small geometric shape in the corner, adding a different texture. If you like this style, check out Rolf Nesch.
