Untitled
In this work on paper, the artist uses black ink to create a busy composition filled with abstract figures and shapes. In the image, numerous humanoid forms with round heads and rectangular bodies interact with each other amid abstract objects dispersed across the canvas.
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.
