① Artwork:
Untitled
In this work on paper, the artist employs black ink to create a highly detailed and vibrant scene filled with abstract lines. The composition features seven figures with blank faces, each in different yet undefined postures or activities.
Donald Mitchell's drawings explore figural motifs, depicted as thick, square bodies often thronged into a dense crowd. Some of his compositions feature smears of color, yet his black-and-white works emit a starkness that suggests anonymity and an air of loneliness.
