RICKY PATTEN | 'Man II' | Acrylic on canvas/ wooden base

"MAN II is a bold exploration of thresholds, inspired by Barnett Newman s iconic ZIPS. The towering 2.6m x 50cm piece invites viewers to reflect on transition and connection, with its striking proportions and interplay of light and shadow. Rooted in the traditions of Abstract Expressionism, yet crafted with modern materials, MAN II embodies the tension between past and present, structure and emotion, offering a profound, immersive experience that resonates with both art history and contemporary practice."
