Charles Eckart’s No. 14 (2000) immerses the viewer in a dense web of organic motion and color. Executed as a softground etching, the image builds a layered surface of intricate textures, with dark networks of line interwoven with tones of red, ochre, and pale gray. The composition feels both spontaneous and controlled—suggesting foliage, earth, or the flux of natural forces without resolving into direct representation.
