About this work

This painting shows a bright yellow background with a messy, colorful scene on top. There’s a purple blob that looks like a tree with white spots for leaves, and a red shape that might be a mushroom or a plant. The colors are bold—reds, purples, greens—all mixed together in a wobbly, uneven way. The artist used a linoleum cut, which means they carved into rubber to print this image. The lines are sharp but the shapes feel loose, like they’re moving. If you like this style, check out Carroll Dunham for more abstract work.
