Boots On The Ground

“Boots On The Ground” is an original abstract work on paper by Georgia-based artist rek, created in 2026. Executed in acrylic, graphite, and pastel on Bristol, the piece emphasizes grounded movement, friction, and persistence through layered marks and restrained color.

Dense graphite lines and softened acrylic passages intersect with muted earth tones and subtle blue accents, creating a surface that feels both weighted and active. The composition suggests pressure held close to the surface—marks accumulating, shifting, and settling—inviting slow, attentive viewing.

This is a one-of-a-kind studio work on paper, unframed, and part of an ongoing series exploring tension, presence, and physical trace.
