Kolner Serie # 9 

Maria Bozoky’s “Kolner Serie # 9” is a black and white ink drawing depicting a woman’s face framed by a lattice of lines. The viewer sees her only from the eyes up, looking at the viewer. The face seems to be the surface of a dark, abstract space and a window opening in the top of the space reveals a mother and child. The abstract space and the figures in it give the artwork a sense of mystery and introspection, and the sharp lines and the dark background are reminiscent of Expressionist art.
