Edward Landon created this print, *Time Silhouette*, using a serigraph. There’s a real playfulness here, in the layering of shapes and colors, and how they interact. It’s all about process, right? You can see the hand of the artist in every decision, every mark. The texture in *Time Silhouette* is really interesting. It looks like Landon has used stencils to apply flat areas of color onto the paper. The way the black ink sits on top of the light green and pink, it creates a sense of depth and layering. Check out that dark black circle resting near the top of the pink area, it's a simple shape, but it adds so much to the composition. It's almost like Landon is inviting us to contemplate the mystery of time itself. Someone who also comes to mind is Joan Miró, with his playful, surreal compositions and interest in exploring the subconscious. It’s about embracing the ambiguity and fluidity of art.
