About this work

This painting shows a giant, rough-hewn head with a flat top, like a stone block. Inside the head’s hollow space is a tall, skinny object that looks like a microphone on a stand. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with some faded yellow and green around the edges. The head’s surface looks cracked and uneven, like old stone or maybe weathered wood. The artist mixed real materials—paint, paper, and varnish—to create this textured look. Next, check out impasto, the technique that makes paint stand out in thick, visible layers.
