Ink on newsprint, signed in pencil verso // Untitled (Angular Face) by Joe Bradley is a limited edition ink print from 2014 that presents a rough, expressive rendering of a face using minimalist strokes on newsprint. The artwork features a geometric, angular form, with bold lines suggesting facial features such as an eye and mouth. Bradley's choice of newsprint as a medium, combined with the textured, almost smudged ink application, imparts a raw, ephemeral quality to the piece. This simplicity captures an essence of abstraction, reminiscent of primitive or childlike drawing styles, inviting viewers to explore the interplay between spontaneity and form in contemporary art.

What is abstract art?
Abstract art uses form, shape, line, and color to create a visual experience without attempting to represent external reality. The composition exists independently of the world's visual references, focusing on expressing ideas and emotions through non-representational means.
