Ink on paper33 x 24 cmFramed. In Ghosts (2025), Studio 198 presents a distilled composition that explores repetition, form, and the expressive potential of line. Executed in ink on paper, the work embraces immediacy—where each mark is both deliberate and uncorrected, carrying a directness that defines the surface. Drawing influence from Philip Guston, the piece navigates the space between abstraction and representation. Repeated, mountain-like forms accumulate across the composition, creating a rhythmic pattern that feels at once playful and contemplative. The simplicity of the imagery is offset by subtle variations in line weight and gesture, giving the work a quiet but insistent presence. At 33 x 24 cm, the scale is intimate, inviting close inspection. The framed presentation enhances the clarity of the ink against the paper, reinforcing the contrast and precision of the composition. This is a one-off original. There are no editions. Created for collectors who appreciate minimal, expressive mark-making, Ghosts offers a study in restraint—where repetition becomes language and form becomes thought.
