Tom Otterness

Artist, American, born 1952

The image shows a complex composition of densely packed, crisscrossed lines creating rounded and elongated shapes. The abstract arrangement resembles a group of figures intertwined or piled together, suggesting forms akin to stacked dolls or mannequins with exaggerated limbs. The concentrated linework gives the figures a three-dimensional appearance, adding depth and texture to the shapes.
