Striking and expressive, “Emergence” is an original circa-1980 drawing by G. Relens, rendered in confident blue ink with dynamic, angular line work. The abstracted face appears to take shape in real time—fragmented forms, bold contours, and symbolic elements combining into a powerful, introspective portrait.
The artwork is beautifully presented in a green burlwood frame with a wide white mat and refined gold inner border, giving the piece strong contrast and a polished, gallery-style finish. The vivid blue lines pop dramatically against the neutral scrap of paper, creating a piece that feels both intellectual and visually arresting.
Perfect for modern interiors, gallery walls, or collectors drawn to expressive figuration and post-modern portraiture.
