Untitled is a 2001 by Hayley Tompkins, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a crumpled yellow magazine page with a face painted on it. The face is rough and smudged, with red and brown paint blending into the wrinkles. The edges are torn and frayed, like it’s been handled a lot. The background shows tiny black text, but it’s hard to read. The artist used the magazine’s shape to make the portrait look uneven, almost like it’s melting. The paint is thick and messy, sticking out in places. If you like this style, look up impasto.
