Each print distills expression into essential shapes, creating compositions that feel playful at first glance but reveal rigorous balance, color strategy, and conceptual clarity upon closer inspection. This reductionist vocabulary has become a hallmark of his market, and the new release expands it with fresh palettes, refined curves, and subtle compositional shifts that deepen the narrative of his evolving practice.
