About this work

This painting shows a tangled mess of shapes—like a giant, broken machine or a storm of metal and cloth. The colors are mostly dark blues and grays, with splashes of orange and green. Strange, jagged lines stick out everywhere, and some parts look like they’re melting or twisting. The artist didn’t label this with an art movement, but the rough, uneven brushstrokes make it feel raw and urgent. The thick paint in some spots gives it a textured, almost 3D look. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
