About this work

Charcoal lines crowd the paper in a storm of marks. Dark scribbles twist into lighter ones, like wind over water. You can feel the artist’s hand moving fast. The surface looks almost smoky. Tiny white gaps push through the charcoal like light. It feels alive, not frozen. This work shares roots with Cy Twombly’s scribbled lines. Look up Sideo Fromboluti next.
