This artist used woodcut and is an example of tessellation. The technique of figure-ground reversal is used which creates change in the background from black to white. Also, positive and negative shapes are portrayed and give the figures shape and form. Lastly, he uses rhythm of geometric shapes to allow your eyes to follow the reversal and pattern easily.
