Description
A pale gray road winds vertically down the composition, cutting through a stack of undulating horizontal bands rendered in gold leaf, teal, green, and salmon-pink, ending at a curved pool of solid blue at the base. The forms are abstract and rounded, with no figures present, and the gold bands carry a mottled, textured surface distinct from the flatter color bands. Numbered 3/50 in pencil at the lower left, with the artist's signature at the lower right; "A Road," a woodblock print by Yoshikatsu Tamekane, 2020.
