About this work

This painting is a wild mix of black and rusty-red ink splatters and drips on a light background. The lines twist and overlap everywhere, with some areas thick and others faint. The paper looks rough, and the paint seems to have been flicked or poured on. The back of the paper also has paint—mostly oil and gouache—though you can’t see it here. That’s unusual for a painting like this. If you like this style, look up Jackson Pollock.
