At the edge of Byzantium

Engraving · 2026

This woodblock print by Stephen Grossman presents a striking interplay of abstract forms in black and white. The composition is sharply divided, with the left side featuring a field of horizontal and diagonal lines, some appearing distressed. A bold, rounded form emerges from the right, which is densely packed with an intricate network of geometric and irregular shapes. Many areas are textured with fine vertical lines, characteristic of the woodblock technique, contrasting with solid black voids that create depth and visual tension. The work evokes a fragmented architectural landscape or an abstract cartography, inviting the viewer to navigate its complex visual rhythm. - Printmaking by Stephen Grossman (United States), Engraving on Paper.
