Ando series I

"Ando series I" (2023), woodblock by Noor von Winckelmann, is an abstract, non-figurative composition rendered in black ink on cream paper, with visible wood grain texture running through the dark passages. A pale, angular wedge cuts diagonally into the upper-left area of an otherwise near-black rectangular block, creating a sharp light/dark contrast between the flat white shape and the mottled, grain-textured black field around it. The print is printed with a wide unprinted margin and has a stark, graphic, geometric mood rather than a pictorial scene.
