Untitled
2004
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 2004 by David Shaw, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a wild mix of swirly lines in bright colors. Greens, pinks, blues, and yellows all jumble together in a busy, chaotic pattern. The lines overlap and twist, making it hard to tell where one ends and another begins. There’s no clear shape or scene—just a sea of movement. The whole thing was drawn with a ballpoint pen on paper. That’s unusual for something this big and colorful. Most pen drawings are small and simple. Want to see more like this? Check out David Shaw.
