This painting looks like a blurry photo someone scribbled over with paint. You can still make out rows of buildings and a road, but everything is smeared. The colors are mostly pale blues, yellows, and browns. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, thin in others, like the paint was slapped on fast. The artist mixed a photo with hand-painted strokes. It’s messy on purpose—no clean lines. The date in the corner says 1994. Check out Gerhard Richter next—he often did this kind of thing.
