This painting shows two stacked rectangles. The top one is a rough, brown surface covered in jagged black lines that look like scribbles or cracks. Below it, a black square with thick yellow edges holds a fuzzy, glowing shape inside—like a TV screen with static or a broken signal. The top part looks like sandpaper with crayon marks, while the bottom uses paint. The yellow border around the black square makes the fuzzy center stand out. Check out gouache to see how this paint works.
