About this work

This painting is made of bold red, black, and green shapes. The words "Woman" and "Noce" (which looks like "Noce" but might be a typo for "Noce" or "Noce" in another language) repeat in big, uneven letters. The letters are cut out and layered, creating sharp angles and overlapping lines. The artist used paper cutouts glued onto board, which makes the colors pop. The words feel urgent and fragmented, like a puzzle. If you like this style, look up Faith Ringgold.
