This painting is a wild mix of shapes and colors. Black, white, and brown blocks and lines fill the canvas. Some look like windows or doors. Others are just odd angles and curves. The brushstrokes are thick in spots, giving it a rough, textured feel. The colors are mostly muted, but a few pops of red and yellow stand out. It’s like looking at a building that’s been turned inside out—walls, floors, and ceilings all jumbled together. If you like this style, check out impasto next.
