About this work

This painting is all bold shapes and colors. You see a red face and hands against a black background. The edges are thick and uneven, like someone slapped the paint on fast. White lines cut through the black, making sharp angles. The artist used big blocks of color instead of details. That’s called *impasto*—thick paint that stands out. It looks rough but intentional. Check out Jack Youngerman to see more of his bold, simple style.
