About this work

This image shows a chaotic mix of shapes and colors. Jagged red, dark blue, and gray blocks fill the page, overlapping each other like scattered pieces. In the top left corner, there’s a rough sketch of a hammer striking something, drawn in black. The edges of the shapes are uneven, and the whole thing feels messy on purpose. The text around the edges says *"180 hammerslag"* (which means "180 hammer strikes") in Danish. It looks like the artist used a hammer to stamp ink onto paper, then added pen lines. The effect is more like a noisy print than a smooth drawing. If you like this style, check out Henning Christiansen for more of his work.
