About this work

This painting is all black lines on a white background. The shapes look like tangled ropes or maybe a mess of hands and feet. Some lines are thick, some thin, and they overlap in weird ways. The artist used only ink and pencil, no colors at all. The lines create big empty spaces that still feel busy. Look up James Siena to see more of his abstract work.
