About this work
Overview
Untitled is a set of three woodcuts created by Dan Walsh in 2007. The print consists of three panels, each featuring a grid of wavy black lines on a solid background color.
Subject & Meaning
The woodcuts present a seemingly simple composition, with thick, undulating black lines arranged in a grid on a flat color field. The repetition and variation of the lines across the three panels create a sense of quiet tension.
Technique & Style
Walsh carved the lines by hand into wood, then printed the image three times in different colors—black-violet, black-green, and black-orange. The resulting prints feature solid, unmodulated colors and lines that appear precise yet fluid.
