THE ARTWORK
In André Verlon’s etching, a construction of vertical and diagonal lines and small architectural elements occupies the central field. The scene develops through overlaps and changing marks, allowing structures to emerge that seem to belong to an imagined urban space.
Black and white makes the contrasts between denser areas and openings in the background readable. The composition invites the eye to follow different directions without offering a single viewpoint. The image thus maintains a balance between precision of drawing and freedom of the whole.
