About this work

This painting shows a dark figure lying face-down on the ground. Its arms are stretched out, and a bright red slash cuts across the scene. The colors are mostly dark brown and gray, with sharp pops of orange and white. The figure’s hands are raised, almost like it’s reaching for something. The paint looks thick and uneven, with some areas almost glowing. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
