THE ARTWORK
Pan’s face occupies almost all of this screenprint by Bengt Lindström. Dark eyes, a green nose and red-yellow fields meet in a figure built from energetic contrasts.
Contours do not soften the expression: they make it immediate and intense. Broad colour surfaces coexist with faster marks, giving the face a presence that seems to expand beyond its limit. The image invites colour to be considered as expressive force and portrait structure.
