The series was, in Law's words, 'about the position of myself on the face of the earth and the environmental conditions around me'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing a thickly drawn line to contain and delimit the almost-blank pictorial field, Law refined his early abstract language in subsequent monochrome works, from 'open' and 'closed' drawings to the monumental paintings of the Mister Paranoia series.","brand":"Ridinghouse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813334990999,"sku":"9781909932180","price":2085.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781909932180.webp?v=1778335228","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bob-law-field-works-1959-1999-9781909932180","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
