About this work

This painting features the word "corn" in large, black letters, with a green circle replacing the letter "o". Inside the circle, a white silhouette of a map of South America is visible. The letters are playful and irregularly shaped, with the "c" and "r" being particularly rounded. The use of a map of South America in place of the letter "o" adds a touch of whimsy and cultural reference to the painting. The artist's choice of a green circle and white silhouette creates a striking contrast that draws the viewer's attention.
