Untitled is a 2013 ink by Trevor Oakes Ryan Oakes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a close-up of tiny, repeating marks—like a storm of dots and lines. The whole thing is in black, white, and gray, with no clear shapes or edges. It looks almost like a texture you’d feel if you ran your fingers over it. The artists made this using a printing method where ink is rolled onto a smooth stone. The result is this grainy, almost chaotic pattern. If you like this style, look up lithography to see how it works.
