Pencil ink wash on paper. Hand-signed by artist. Study for the Watcher by Lynn Chadwick is a unique 1960 work rendered in pencil and ink wash on paper. The composition presents a vertically stacked figure-like structure, each section resembling a distorted box enclosed by taut linear elements—evocative of scaffolding or architectural forms. Chadwick integrates earthy washes of rust and ochre, conveying a sense of corrosion or organic decay. The skeletal precision of the lines contrasts with the expressive texture, reflecting his background in architecture and sculpture. This study hints at the transformation of human or sentinel forms into abstract, mechanized presences, emblematic of Chadwick’s post-war exploration of the body and surveillance.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
