This striking India Ink drawing by Renaud Allirand captures a powerful minimalist abstraction—dark, textured forms hover over horizontal bands, evoking an enigmatic landscape or symbolic architecture. The sharp contrast between inky strokes and pale washes, and the dynamic directional marks, create a sense of motion and emotional tension.

This piece belongs to Allirand’s series of abstract gouache and ink compositions, which he often describes as "imaginary landscapes"—not literal depictions, but emotional topographies rendered through nuanced layers of pigment and mark-making.
