Untitled is a 1995 acrylic by Eduardo Costa, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a dark, crumpled piece of fabric or paper stuck to a flat surface. The texture is rough and uneven, with deep shadows and light spots that make it look almost three-dimensional. It’s all in shades of gray and black, with no clear shapes or colors. The surface is thickly painted, giving it a bumpy, almost tactile feel—like you could reach out and touch it. This technique is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can see the brushstrokes. Check out more about *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint to create texture.
Eduardo Nascimento Costa, known as Eduardo Costa, is a Brazilian professional football coach and former player who played as a defensive midfielder. He is the current head coach of Atlético Catarinense.
