A boldly gestural black-and-white abstract lithograph, edition 3 of only 10. Large sweeping calligraphic strokes dominate the composition — thick, looping black forms with an almost biomorphic quality, suggesting eyes, wings, or organic bodies without resolving into specific figures. Against these, atmospheric grainy tonal passages (characteristic of lithographic crayon or tusche wash) create spatial depth and faint suggestions of landscape — trees, cliffs, rooftops. A sharp triangular spike rises from center-bottom; a rounded ovoid on a stem anchors the right; a cluster of dots adds rhythmic texture at left. The work sits confidently at the intersection of Abstract Expressionism and Miró-esque biomorphism — stylistically very much of its moment.
