Only 100 portfolios were produced, each numbered and signed in the colophon, while the individual prints themselves were issued unsigned and unnumbered, as published. This striking abstract composition exemplifies Nama’s fascination with symbolic structures, ancient artifacts, and ritualistic forms. The image presents a mysterious mechanical or totemic configuration composed of looping black organic bands suspended from a vivid coral-red horizontal element, anchored by cylindrical forms below. The balance between industrial geometry and fluid organic movement gives the work a powerful sculptural presence despite its minimal means. Nama’s restrained palette of black, coral red, pale blue, soft green, and muted ochre creates a refined visual tension while emphasizing the tactile carved surface characteristic of the linoleum cut medium. The hand-coloring adds subtle individuality and warmth to each impression, reinforcing the handmade qualities associated with important studio printmaking of the pre-digital era. Throughout his career, George Nama explored themes connected to archaeology, mythology, tribal imagery, and modern abstraction. His works often resemble fragments of forgotten civilizations or ceremonial objects reimagined through a contemporary modernist lens. This print reflects that distinctive vocabulary—simultaneously minimalist, enigmatic, and deeply evocative. An excellent example of late twentieth-century American printmaking and an appealing acquisition for collectors interested in symbolic abstraction, modernist graphics, and limited edition artist portfolios. Framing available upon request.
