Targz’s Octopus is a 2021 pen-plotted work built from broad bands of paired color. The artist uses Ultramarine Deep and Magenta Ecoline watercolor with a 2.4 mm parallel pen, placing the colors beside each other throughout the drawing.
The A2 work makes the physical mark part of the composition: pen width, neighboring colors, and overlapping paths all affect how the structure reads. It is a useful reference for studying what happens when generative geometry meets a wide nib, especially when planning drawings around the behavior of a particular pen and ink combination.
