Little Linocuts (2016)

Little Linocuts (2016), a linocut by Wuon-Gean Ho, depicts a dense arrangement of stylized flowers—including chrysanthemums, a rose, and daisy-like blooms—rendered in magenta, deep pink, and teal against a black ground crossed with fine parallel and cross-hatched lines. In the lower left, a woman's face rests sideways with eyes closed beside an open hand, positioned near what appears to be an open book or folded paper. A round mirror or disc with a bird motif appears in the lower right corner, and the entire composition is built from dense hatching and striped patterning characteristic of the carved linocut line.
