Description

A close-cropped, sepia-toned portrait shows a young man's face from the nose down to bare shoulders, tilted forward with a faint half-smile, his eyes narrowed almost shut. Both forearms are raised into frame, densely tattooed with imagery rendered in contrasting palettes: the left arm in black-and-grey with a woman's face and floral motifs, the right arm in full color with pink flowers, green foliage, and a bird or dragon design. The print's edges are deckled/torn, and the muted, monochrome ground of the photographic image contrasts with the vivid color inks of the tattoo designs. Lithograph and woodcut, color; Daniel Kelly, 2005; titled "Wink."
