Sararas XX — Fine Art

Sararas XX - 1981 sits on the page as a flat field of drawn marks. Bold black lines cross a pale ground. The lines break into small shapes near the edges. From across the room the drawing reads as a single dark band. Up close you see the graphite grain and the small corrections Omar Rayo left on the paper.

This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel. The matte surface keeps the darks from shining under a lamp. The paper holds the graphite like tones without turning them glossy.

On a kitchen wall near the sink the black lines hold their shape while you wash up. From the table you notice the light grey areas between the strokes.
