Madz

A dense grid of intersecting colored lines—red, yellow, green, blue, cyan, and black—builds an abstract woven pattern across the sheet, thickest and darkest in the upper portion where the overlapping hues merge into near-black, thinning toward the lower edge where individual colored strokes and bare cream paper remain visible. The rough deckled edges of the paper are exposed on all sides, and the lower margin carries pencil annotations (edition number, title, and signature) typical of a printmaker's proof. The overall effect is a vibrating, textile-like abstraction rather than a representational scene. Mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock), "Madz," Mike Lyon, 2023.
