About the artwork

Untitled,dated circa 2009,is documented as drawing in black marker on paper with cigarette-burn holes and measures 36.0 × 22.0 cm. The vertically oriented sheet presents a monochrome character study in black marker. A stylized figure wearing a cap occupies the lower two-thirds of the composition,surrounded by angular lettering,arrows and compact graffiti marks. Across the upper area,a narrow framed inscription balances the denser figure below. Repeated circular cigarette-burn holes puncture the paper,forming a deliberate dotted field that interacts with the drawn lines and introduces physical openings into the support. The limited black-and-white palette makes the contrast between marker,bare paper and burned perforations especially visible. The catalogue description is based on the supplied main image and technical record. Details that would require direct examination,including the exact placement of a reverse signature,labels,inscriptions on the back or the full character of the paper surface,are not treated as independently confirmed unless specifically recorded in the documentation.

Expert opinion

From a cataloguing perspective,this work is best positioned as an original drawing connected with graffiti blackbook and character-drawing practice rather than as an editioned print. Its value as an object lies in the direct Pantone-marker or black-marker execution,the individual combination of lettering and figurative motifs,and its documented association with Notch 56’s broader interest in urban scenes and three-dimensional blackbooks. The date recorded as circa 2009 places the sheet within the documented period of this group,while the compact 36.0 × 22.0 cm format is consistent with a portable study or autonomous blackbook-related work. The composition should be evaluated through the quality and density of the marker work,the relationship between character and lettering,the condition of the paper or sticker support,and the presence of any recorded reverse signature. It belongs broadly within the collecting fields of Graffiti,Urban Art and contemporary works on paper. No edition is stated,and the direct drawing process supports treatment as a unique work. The available record does not establish provenance,exhibition history or auction comparisons,so no claims are made concerning rarity,price performance or institutional importance.

About the artist
