Observations
The style is a forceful abstract graphic collage built from oversized letterforms, geometric blocks, and tightly packed layers. Saturated red, black, blue, yellow, and cream create stark contrast, while distressed ink, scratches, rough edges, and uneven printed textures give the otherwise flat shapes a tactile handmade surface.
