About this work

This painting shows two bright yellow faces with dark hair and mustaches, cut from torn paper. The faces are layered over a background of crumpled, faded billboard scraps in white, pink, and blue. Green text runs along the neckline of one face, but the words are hard to read. The artist used old billboard paper, giving the work a rough, torn look. The bright yellow faces stand out against the worn background. Look up David Hammons to see more of his work.
