This painting is a close-up of round, textured shapes in soft greens and yellows. The colors blend into each other, with some areas darker and others lighter. The surface looks rough, like fingerprints or small bumps pressed into the paper. The artist used a mix of printmaking techniques, including carborundum—a gritty material—to create this texture. The marks feel almost like they were rubbed in by hand. If you like this style, look up Howard Hodgkin for more work like this.
