Self-Portrait
Intaglio Etching on Paper
Rendered with incisive, expressive lines, this self-portrait reveals Alan Wood-Thomas's uncompromising examination of the human condition. The deeply etched contours, penetrating gaze, and angular features convey both vulnerability and resilience, while the rhythmic network of lines gives the face a sculptural presence. More than a likeness, the work is a psychological study, reflecting the artist's lifelong commitment to emotional honesty and the expressive power of the human figure.
