Untitled AP-122- Mixed Media Work on Paper

Untitled AP-122 is an expressive mixed-media work on paper by Toronto artist Murray Duncan, measuring 18 x 24 inches. In this composition, Duncan builds a dynamic interplay of bold black forms, gestural strokes, and layered tonal washes. The result is a richly textured abstraction that suggests shifting architectural structures, pathways, and intersecting planes. Using a combination of acrylic, ink, and pencil, Duncan creates a sense of both movement and weight. Dense vertical marks contrast with fluid curves, while translucent overlays introduce depth and spatial ambiguity. The monochromatic palette heightens the graphic quality of the work, emphasizing the tension between structure and spontaneity — a recurring theme in Duncan’s practice. Part of the artist’s ongoing series exploring memory, construction, and the fragmentation of form, Untitled AP-122 stands alone as a visually compelling and emotionally resonant piece.
