This painting looks like two big, rough wooden chairs facing each other. The lines are jagged and uneven, almost like they were scratched or drawn with a thick tool. There’s a lot of empty white space around them, but tiny marks and lines fill the background—some look like cracks or scribbles. The artist used a gritty material called carborundum, which leaves a raw, textured look. It’s not smooth or polished—it feels messy and real, like something you might touch. If you like this style, check out Antoni Tàpies.
