"The Torso" demonstrates CHOCO's innovative technique of combining sculpture with collagraphy in a powerful hybrid form. The wooden sculptural piece takes on an abstracted female torso shape, marked by two distinctive circular voids in its upper region. The surface is a complex patchwork of individual collagraph prints mounted onto the wooden structure, creating a vibrant cubist-inspired composition with its fragmented geometric planes.
The prints display a rich palette of oranges, reds, yellows, and deep greens, each section bearing unique textural patterns characteristic of CHOCO's printmaking style. The segmented surface creates a dynamic interplay of color, texture, and dimension, with each collagraphic piece contributing its own distinctive pattern and depth. The overall effect transforms what might have been a simple torso form into a complex meditation on surface, space, and the female form.
