About this work

This picture shows a submarine cut in half, revealing its inside. The top half floats on a blue, wavy surface like water, while the bottom half sits on a flat, textured ground. Inside the submarine, you can see dark shapes and a few glowing green lights. The artist used bold yellow lines to highlight the submarine’s edges, making it stand out against the rest. The outside looks smooth, but the inside feels messy and full of details. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works like it.
