This painting shows a big, blocky figure kneeling over a smaller, simpler one. The big figure’s head is wrapped in a bandana, and its arms are raised like it’s holding something heavy. The background has a yellow sky, a building with a red roof, and a tennis court with a net. The shapes are rough and flat, like cut paper. The artist pasted printed images onto an envelope to make this work. The figures look like they’re made from old ads or comics, glued together in a strange new way. Look up Arturo Herrera to see more of his mixed-media art.
