Men in Black

"Men in Black" is a large textured abstract piece that I only used black and white pigments to create. Carbon Black and Titanium White; and of course, there are some gray areas where the pigments blend a bit.

The focal point here is the 5 dark, sinister (?) figures (with hats) standing there as though waiting for a showdown or a shootout. At least one of them seems a bit perplexed with his head tilted in such a way as if to say "huh?"

The viewer is left to wonder what in the world these five guys are looking at? They've definitely got a lot of personality and remind me of the wild west (a spaghetti western, perhaps?)

The background on this piece is basically a staticy mix of contrasting textural blacks and whites and grays that lead your eye directly to the five men in black.

I have signed it on the back, and it is varnished for protection and enhancement of color.

The deep, 1.5" sides have been painted black, so there's no need for expensive framing.
