The Duel B is one of the works from artist's "Heinrich van Kleist" series. This massive painting is turbulent with contrasting techniques and forms, including grids, spirals, and loops. The work's surface is flat only in fact—the dynamic jumble of forms that have been spray painted, stenciled, and computer projected onto the canvas appear vividly three-dimensional.
