Untitled is a 2012 paint by Toyin Ojih Odutola, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a side view of a person’s face and neck. The skin and hair are made up of tiny, repeated lines that create shadow and texture. The face is turned slightly away, with one ear visible and a faint earring. The artist used only black marks on white paper to build up the image. Every curve—from the hair to the collarbone—is drawn with careful, overlapping strokes. Look up chiaroscuro next to see how light and shadow work in drawings like this.
Toyin Ojih Odutola (born 1985) is a Nigerian-American contemporary visual artist known for her vivid multimedia drawings and works on paper.
