BIJING NOW DRAWING 02

A close-up composition rendered entirely in indigo and white patterned fields, filling the frame with a partial figure — a raised arm with a bent hand, and what may be a head or shoulder in the upper left, all broken into dozens of distinct textile-like patterns (dots, checks, florals, cross-hatching, and a radiating sunburst motif in the lower right). Fine gold outlines separate the individual pattern segments, and thin white drips run down from the upper right edge. "Bijing Now Drawing 02," 2016, acrylic ink on paper, by Toru Ishii.
