A close-up, stylized head of a bull rendered in bold black-and-white cross-hatching against an intense red field; the work’s economy of form and graphic texture give it a poster-like immediacy. The cropped composition and the strong diagonal of the horn create dynamic tension, while the meticulous mark-making within the animal’s planes evokes traditional print media techniques adapted for painting. The piece reads as a modern emblem—direct, striking and slightly confrontational—with the red backdrop amplifying the bull’s presence and symbolic associations of strength.

Its pared-down palette and disciplined draftsmanship emphasize form and surface over narrative, achieving a crisp visual punch.
