Working primarily in black, his prints possess a remarkable physicality. Rather than depicting objects, Serra's prints operate as encounters with material itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\"Eight by Eight\"\u003cspan\u003e is a powerful example of this approach. Composed of a monumental black form, the lithograph examines scale, density, and surface.
