Cubist Portrait
Etching on paper
A powerful modernist portrait distilled into bold geometric planes and finely etched cross-hatching. The asymmetrical composition, dominated by a single contemplative eye, balances areas of deep shadow with luminous negative space, creating both sculptural form and psychological depth. The work exemplifies Alan Wood-Thomas's exploration of Cubist-inspired portraiture, where abstraction heightens, rather than obscures, the emotional presence of the human face.
