Description

Lithography with hand-painted additions in grey and cinnabar sumi ink

Three bold, interconnecting abstract shapes printed in black, lithographic tusche occupy the central area. Three long, narrow sweeping strokes of tusche project upwards into the space at centre left. Applied by hand over the lithograph in calligraphic sumi ink are three silvery grey, connecting strokes dotted with five, triangular touches of vibrant cinnabar.
