An expressive mixed-media work on paper by American artist Ruth Esserman (1936–2022). The composition features a richly layered abstract landscape rendered in energetic black ink linework with areas of tonal wash, creating a dramatic horizon and a strong sense of movement and texture.
Esserman’s work from this period often explores imagined terrains and symbolic environments through dense mark-making and experimental surface treatment. This piece is a strong example of her mid-career practice, combining drawing, ink, and pigment on textured paper.
The artwork is signed and double-dated by the artist at the lower right and is mounted on board. It presents beautifully and would work well framed or displayed with a mat.
A compelling, one-of-a-kind work well suited for collectors of contemporary works on paper or for designers seeking visually impactful original art.
Artwork: 8.5" H × 11.5" W
