Elegant Gypsy Suite

A haunting and evocative piece featuring two abstract figures rendered in dramatic black ink against a pristine white background. This work showcases Arthur’s masterful command of negative space and gestural mark-making, creating a powerful dialogue between light and shadow.
The composition features two figure-like forms with distinctive spiky, feather-like projections that create a sense of movement and energy. The right figure incorporates subtle touches of turquoise and gold watercolor, providing a delicate contrast to the bold black ink work. A soft pink arc in the upper left and a small red cross signature in the lower right corner add minimal but purposeful color accents to the predominantly monochromatic piece.
