About the work

A dense web of gestural lines in deep red, vivid yellow, and navy blue weave across the entire surface in a frenetic, all-over composition. The layered marks create a sense of raw energy and visual complexity reminiscent of action painting translated into print.

Abstract Expressionism

A postwar movement built on spontaneous, gestural abstraction and broad fields of color, conveying feeling without recognizable subjects. Its freedom shaped many Arab modernists exploring abstraction in their own visual language.
