Two Watchers, Black and White Patterned Drawing

A square black-and-white drawing made of thick curving bands, triangles, stripes and ovals packed tightly together. A white circle at upper left holds black dots joined by looping lines, and two eye-like ovals run diagonally through the center. A row of three oval beads sits at lower right, and a handwritten signature appears at the bottom right.

Someone wants this piece over ten other black-and-white abstracts because it gives the eye a lot to follow with only two colours. Thick wavy bands, rows of triangles and a dotted medallion are packed edge to edge. Two almond-shaped, eye-like forms stacked on the diagonal act as a focal point. A homeowner with a settled, neutral room gets a bold graphic piece with no colour to clash with the paint, sofa or rug. It also has enough detail to reward a longer look.
