# Central Park
Gary Groves employs the woodcut medium to render a landscape of bold contrasts and compressed spatial planes. The print's high-contrast palette—predominantly black and white with selective color—emphasizes the materiality of the carving process itself. Forms emerge through decisive mark-making, where positive and negative space operate with equal visual weight. The composition demonstrates characteristic techniques of the medium: areas of dense hatching adjacent to open fields, linear rhythms that guide the eye, and the inherent grain and texture of the block surface. Rather than atmospheric perspective, Groves structures depth through the layering of forms and tonal shifts, creating an image where architectural and natural elements coexist in flattened, graphic relationship.
