The Champion

Collage with woodblock print, gold leaf and gilt relief on board

Untitled in the artist's archive; a descriptive title is used here.

A black-and-white woodblock print of a glowering wrestler anchors the composition, overlaid with a heavy crusted cascade of gold-leaf relief and a slender chartreuse frame propped against it. East-Asian graphic line meets thickly encrusted gilding — strength stated twice, in ink and in gold.
