Time Bond 1988

"Time Bond" (1988), by American artist Mark Kostabi, depicts a stylized human figure composed of geometric shapes against a stark black and white background. The figure is obscured by a series of red rings that encircle the body, perhaps symbolizing the constraints or limitations of time. Kostabi's signature style, characterized by simplified forms and bold colors, is evident in this piece, which explores themes of identity and the passage of time. The artwork's starkness, its use of geometric shapes, and the emphasis on the figure's body all contribute to a sense of alienation and isolation.
