Ilie Vaduva • Superstition, Linocut, 2016
This linoleum cut is a study of the hand in a cross-fingered position that in popular belief represents the superstition of trying to prevent something from happening or hoping it will not happen. The hand is a very expressive and complex study just like a person’s portrait. I created my focus point with the brightest area on the two fingers crossed, using cross hatching. Together with the pictorial areas in the background it recreates the mystic atmosphere of the superstitions.
