Snake in the Grass

Description

Snake in the Grass is a dynamic exploration of form, gesture, and metaphor. Rendered in sweeping layers of deep black, vivid teal, and fiery orange, the composition conjures both movement and mystery. At its core, a coiled form suggests a hidden presence—part celestial body, part subterranean coil—rising beneath a veil of dense texture and intuitive mark-making.

The lithograph’s title evokes tension and concealment, yet the imagery balances that with fluidity and openness. Scratched white lines pulse across the surface like codes or currents, while arcs of color suggest landforms, waves, or sonic vibrations. There is a strong sense of rhythm here—of visual jazz—echoing the vocabulary of abstract expressionism and lyrical minimalism.

Signed and numbered 9 of 20, and dated 1980, this unframed work invites confident pairing with modern interiors or curated collections of conceptual, gestural, or postmodern printmaking.
