Abstract letter type Print, Matted 16.5x20 inches
Title: In Decline
Medium: Original Monotype Print
In Decline is an abstract monotype featuring a gradient transition from deep black to a rich red, achieved through the arrangement of letterpress type pieces. The piece has a structured, almost architectural feel, yet the fading of color and density suggests a narrative of change or erosion.
The subtle misalignments and gaps between the blocks introduce a sense of movement and imperfection, contrasting with the rigid forms of the type. This interplay between order and dissolution reflects themes of transformation and decay.
This striking piece combines the boldness of minimalism with nuanced storytelling, appealing to those who enjoy art that balances structure and emotion.
