Basketball
10 works

B-ball, 2008
Acrylic and ink on paper
12 1/8 x 16 inches (30.8 x 40.6 cm.)
This dynamic composition captures a basketball court from an elevated vantage point, rendered in Wood's characteristic bold color palette and graphic precision. The artist employs vibrant acrylic and ink to delineate the geometric patterns of the court's surface, where painted lines intersect against blocks of saturated color. Wood's technique balances meticulous detail with a subtle flatness that references both sports photography and mid-century design aesthetics. The modest scale of the work on paper creates an intimate viewing experience while maintaining the visual impact of his larger canvases. Created during a formative period in Wood's career, this 2008 work exemplifies his ongoing fascination with everyday American imagery and architectural space. The basketball court motif would become a recurring element in his practice, representing both personal nostalgia and broader cultural iconography. Works on paper from this era are increasingly sought after by collectors, offering an accessible entry point into Wood's sophisticated artistic vocabulary while demonstrating the conceptual rigor that has established him as a significant contemporary painter.
