About this work

This painting looks like a tangled mess of black lines and shapes. A figure with a crown and red robes is trapped in a web of sharp, jagged strokes. Feathers and splatters of ink float around like debris, while a hand reaches in from the bottom right. The colors are mostly black, red, and white, with some gold in the crown. The artist used cut-up paper and ink to create this chaotic scene. The lines overlap in a way that makes it hard to tell where one shape ends and another begins.
