From our friends at the Creativity Explored studio in San Francisco—a nonprofit visual arts center where artists with developmental disabilities create, exhibit and sell art—the graphic lady runner depicts a provocative figure.

Like the complex lady depicted in this wool runner, large-scale figurative oil pastels define the work of artist Vincent Jackson—notorious as one of the longest practicing artist in residence at
the studio.

Via a sum of geometric shapes—with elements of traditional African and oceanic imagery, and almost Cubist, her full figure takes form within these densely layered bold linear shapes and softer patterns.
