About this work

This sheet looks like a weird map. Bright colors—red, yellow, blue—smeared over lines and numbers. The shapes don’t match any real place. There’s a grid with latitude and longitude marks, but the paint covers them like a mess. The title says it’s just "Untitled," but it feels like a joke on maps. The artist took something serious and turned it into something playful. Check out Fred Mitchell to see more of his quirky work.
