About this work

This print shows a chaotic scene with a dark, muscular figure in the center, holding a sword and looking intense. Behind them, a shadowy shape looms, while the sky above is stormy with a rainbow. The ground is rough and uneven, with patches of yellow and green plants. The title *All Hell Let Loose* hints at a sense of chaos and struggle. The artist used bold, rough lines and dark contrasts to create a dramatic effect. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.
