Etching on paper
This compelling etching reduces the human face to bold geometric planes, intricate cross-hatching, and richly textured surfaces. The interplay of light and shadow creates a sculptural presence, while the solitary eye and simplified features convey a quiet psychological intensity. Reflecting Alan Wood-Thomas's modernist vision, the work balances abstraction and portraiture in a composition that is both formally disciplined and emotionally resonant.
