About this work

This painting shows a simple black line drawing of a person holding a long, curved object like a bow or a tool. The figure stands on a rough, textured ground with scattered marks around them. The background is mostly light-colored paper with some stains and smudges, giving it a worn, uneven look. The drawing is made by cutting and pasting printed paper, then adding oil and ink on top. The lines are bold and confident, but the rest of the paper looks raw and unfinished. Next, look up Steve Gianakos.
