About this work

This painting is a wall of thick, dark shapes. The colors are mostly black, gray, and a little blue, all mixed together. The brushstrokes are heavy, almost like clumps of paint piled on top of each other. The artist used a lot of black paint, making the whole thing feel heavy and quiet. It’s hard to tell what it’s supposed to be—just shapes and colors. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
