About this work

This drawing shows four people in a busy, sketchy street scene. One guy in a pink shirt and black coat holds a phone to his ear. Another wears blue pants and a blue coat, holding a long object like a broom. The background has a bright orange sign and blurry buildings. Faces are simple shapes with bold colors—pink, blue, and black stand out. The artist used thick, messy lines and bold colors to make it feel fast and raw. The mix of materials—like crayon and paint—gives it a rough, handmade look. If you like this style, check out Erik van Lieshout.
