About this work

This image shows a light blue background with wavy, watery brushstrokes. White text reads: *"Find contact lens at bottom of swimming pool."* The words are simple, bold, and centered. The painting looks like a joke—just a silly phrase on a plain background. It’s made with pastel on paper, so the colors are soft and slightly smudged. If you like this weird, straightforward style, check out Edward Ruscha.
